Mackadena's latest album Consciousness Of Hip-hop is a definitive collection of tracks that span the career of the Rotterdam producer. The album features homegrown tracks alongside LA cuts and UK collaborations, and travels back and forth between brand new sounds and earlier releases revamped and repackaged into one compilation.

Consciousness Of Hip-hop combines the unique production and beats composition style of Mackadena with musical ventures featuring lyricists of the infamous Area-51 crew, MC Random, Apakalips, Crow Magnum, Tymon Dean, N.O.Y, Paco Swartz, Unkle Gundee, Poseydon, Jizzm, J-Sonic MC, the legendary producer DJ Broadway from the Los Angeles’ Hiphop underground scene and the UK’s very own MC Fats and DJ A Sides.

The purpose of the compilation is to cultivate the lyrical and musical style of authentic boombap Hip-hop and to preserve the genre’s roots for new listeners. After many changes in the scene across the world, original hip-hop ideas get misrepresented and we can’t afford losing touch with the consciousness of hip-hop.

In the words of KRS-One: “Be the thing you are thinking… and if you don’t wanna be what you are thinking, stop thinking it… instead of reading the word of Christ, be the word of Christ… instead of following God’s word, be God’s word… that’s the Consciousness of Hip-hop… you are not just doing Hip-hop… you are Hip-hop."

The album will be released on September 2nd and you can pre-order it from August 5th by clicking HERE!
