NEGRO NECRO NEKROS

Double vinyl LP pressing. Reissue of the album from 1998 that started it all for d?lek, this time with six bonus tracks. The physical includes a 12pg booklet with liner notes by John Morrison and new art from Mikel Elam & Paul Romano. When D?lek's debut, Negro Necro Nekros arrived in the Fall of 1998, hip-hop's aesthetic and commercial conventions were in a state of upheaval. While mainstream rap had more or less completed the process of full integration into mainstream pop culture, underground hip-hop had mounted an aggressive opposition movement in response. Forged in the fires of the East Coast underground music scene in the 90s, Experimental Hip Hop pioneers D?lek has spent decades carving out a unique niche fusing hardcore Hip Hop, noise and a radical approach to sound. From the very beginning, D?lek came out the gate, following in the footsteps of their predecessors Public Enemy while drawing from influences as varied as My Bloody Valentine and German experimentalists Faust, D?lek have succeeded in adding completely new textural and structural dimensions to rap music. Since 1998, they've released seven studio albums and countless EPs, singles and collaborations.
