Am I biased? Probably. But Natural Elements to me embodies all that is good in hip hop. And this may be another favorite joint of mine from the trio. First and foremost, I am a traditionalist so hearing our emcees rock over some godly Charlemagne production just sounds like everyone is where they should be. It’s natural. The way Charlemagne carries this Andre wind instrumentation through the track is just beautiful. He was the original producer for the group back from the jump and I loved how seamless everything sounded. It’s that special polish that brings an extremely talented group of lyricists together. Love this joint.

There’s a lot to be optimistic about today, and one of the reasons is Natural Elements is still making amazing music together after all these years. Now they don’t crank out music as prolifically as they did when they did when they were younger but each time they do they make it count. Here, Swigga, Mister Voodoo, and A-Butta reflect on the changes in their lives and the things that they are thankful for. They do so over a soulful production from I.G Nexus.

I hate blogs for not picking up on this. I hate that more people aren’t recognizing and talking about this new joint from none other than, Natural Elements. A-Butta, Swigga, and Mr. Voodoo are back with another epic single backed by Charlemagne. To put it simply there is no better three man team to do it. And after decades, these guys continue to deliver bars at a very high level. The production. The lyricism. The exchange. They are all on point. Don’t miss out.
Single You Out: Natural Elements – DroNes
Please drop some more music Natural Elements! We need more than just these teasers. Anthony Cruz, Swigga, and Agu still can drop illness with the likes of sickest emcees. We need some more of these kind of songs and a true LP to drop soon because these artists are simply too talented to drop this sporadic. Please gentlemen…put the hip hop world on notice…

Note:
I obviously missed this mixtape or else it would have been front and center on HHD much sooner. This is a compilation of rarities that showcase the crews come up in the mid-to-late 1990s. These are tracks that they performed as a crew, solo artists, and some guest spots. I have been an avid listener of NE throughout the years and there are a few tracks on here that I haven’t even heard. It’s going to make for some good listening mixed by Bad Cop.
One of the reasons that this project is being released now is that A-Butta, Swigga, and Mister Voodoo are back at it making music as a collective again. The one track they have released, All Hail NE, is truly dope and definitely bodes well for their forthcoming projects. Really excited about this one folks so make sure you give this a listen and get yourself familiar with the crew. They will be hitting you with some new material shortly.

Single You Out: Natural Elements – All Hail NE
I hate posting on the weekends but I can’t help it. This news is BIG! All of us older heads can breathe again, and youngers can start anew. Natural Elements (Agu, Swigga, and Anthony Cruz) is back in the building and the track is dope! The three show excellent chemistry as if they have never been apart. If you listen to their older material (which I strongly encourage) you will hear that undeniable chemistry again and again. Man, enjoy this people…I know I am.
