Queens emcee Truth reunites with the legendary production duo Da Beatminerz (DJ Evil Dee & Mr. Walt) for Nostalgia ThEraPy 2, the follow-up to last year’s acclaimed Nostalgia ThEraPy. Once again, the collaboration delivers a potent dose of East Coast boom bap, with seven new cuts packed with dusty drums, gritty basslines, and sharp lyricism.
Truth sounds hungrier than ever, pairing razor-edged bars with that signature Beatminerz sound that helped shape a generation of East Coast Hip-Hop. The project features an all-star lineup that includes Psycho Les, Tragedy Khadafi, and Royal Flush, with precision cuts from DJ JS-1 on three standout tracks. From the anthemic lead single “Check It Out” to the lyrical fireworks of “Cause for Concern”, every record captures the authenticity and energy of golden-era New York.
Elsewhere, Truth channels raw nostalgia on “Want It Back,” demanding a return to hip-hop’s roots of originality and integrity, while “Redrum Seen” and “Done Did It” showcase his wordplay over sinister horns and pounding percussion, both elevated by JS-1’s signature scratches.
With Nostalgia ThEraPy 2, Truth and Da Beatminerz deliver more than just another boom bap record. It’s a masterclass in timeless Hip-Hop craftsmanship. The album dropped today via Animal Military Records, following the release of its debut single “Check It Out” due out on Thursday, 6th November.
