“The Preface” CD + Limited Colored Vinyl: https://naturesoundsmusic.com/collect…

By the time his 2008 solo debut “The Preface” was released, Elzhi was already recognized as one of hip-hop’s most gifted lyricists. Still a member of Slum Village at the time, the Detroit emcee jump-started an exciting solo career with the classic collection, which is now back on CD and vinyl after years as an out-of-print rarity. Produced by the album’s primary sonic architect Black Milk, the standout track “Yeah” finds Elzhi showcasing his scorching rhyme skills alongside fellow Motown artist Phat Kat.
