The Record Store Day releases are coming thick and fast again in 2024 and the quality across the board is high. This one is a case in point that comes from the legendary New York borough of Queens which birthed hip-hop greats like Nas and Mobb Deep. Mic Geronimo was next to emerge from the street at that time and was discovered at a high school music contest. His album The Natural features era-defining sounds with production from Da Beatminerz and Buckwild amongst many more, and guests that include the likes of early Jay Z, DMX and Ja Rule, making it a breeding ground of next-gen talent.
