If you’ve been hipped and in the know over the last year then you’ve no doubt been hearing the buzz going on about the label known as Culture Power 45 that has been releasing a quick strike of one off lathe cut pressings of Hip Hop goodness. Quickly selling out to collectors and music lovers while generating even more interest, the label steps to the plate to up their stock with a full length LP featuring various artists and producers from their collective of likeminded thinkers. What follows is 19 sharp cuts to the scalp of assorted sounds from Fat Nice, Infinitio 2017, Nekaybaaw, Tall Black Guy and Wonderful Poison just to name a few in the inner circle who have all contributed to make their first LP something to take note of. ”
“Fruition serves as a platform for showcasing the artists associated with Culture Power 45, the title lends itself to the experience of the collective as each song is a piece of the whole which manifested the project. Artists working together professionally, creatively, and financially to bear fruit is what Fruition is all about. The Fruition intro is a snippet of an actual phone conference held monthly and sets the listener up for a journey via precise lyrics and tight beats. Take for instance the Tall Black Guy produced News Flash Pt. 2 from 80’s Babies with Dee Jackson featuring Chicago mainstay Thaione Davis where the two pose as modern day news anchors alerting the listener to the constant ills of a residing in a violence driven politically oppressed environment. Staying true to the Culture Power 45 mission, Fruition is only available on vinyl.”
