Description
Chicago-area beatsmith Maker marks his Now-Again Records debut with Maker Vs. Now-Again, an entry in the same “music-library” series that saw the release of limited edition (and often not-for-sale) albums such Oh No Vs. Now-Again and MRR-ADM’s unnamed “black-album.” Check!Emerging from Chicago’s underground hip-hop community of the late 90s, Maker’s role as producer kept him behind the scenes, tweaking levels and digging in the crates. Maker vs. Now-Again is a hip-hop exercise in those boom-bap era aesthetics: dusty drum breaks underscore two bar loops and make for an accessible series of tracks perfect for synchronization. It’s no surprise, then, that Maker Vs. Now-Again has been featured in an Apple Ipad webisode and the Fox television show The Chicago Code.
Previously only available in Japan, Maker Vs. Now-Again is packaged in a “mini-LP” thick cardboard “tip-on” sleeve and is available in limited quantities. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
