Revisit a New York underground Hip Hop classic with this 4-song indie release from The U.N. This project features 2 songs not on their debut album that are sure to make your head nod. 

On "Long Time Coming" Roc Marciano and Pete Rock collide to bring you the energy that The U.N. are known for. With a piano-driven beat by The Soul Brother and Laku lending his gruff voice to the chorus, it's a match made in Hip Hop heaven.

"It's Over" is The Alchemist and The U.N. slows things down a bit as ALC draws from the moody Soul sounds of David Porter. 


If you're interested in owning a physical copy, this rare release by The U.N. is now available here on eBay.
