The Plug (0:21).
Main Body of Discussion (1:51).
Hip-hop has been ripe with New York lore since the genesis of this art form. Albums like Illmatic, and The Cold Vein are shining examples of albums that encapsulate NYC life, from their own unique perspectives.
King Vision Ultra’s SHOOK WORLD is the latest album to accomplish a similar feat, building a world that captures the raw grit and rich history of the city like no other. It embodies the spirit of collective action, through its deep guest list of New York artists, and the foundational collaboration with post-punk band Algiers’s latest album Shook.
GENG PTP aka King Vision Ultra, is a man of many hats, founder of the revered PTP collective, and creator of this dense epic of an album, SHOOK WORLD.
He joined the show to deep-dive into the creation of this album, in the latest installment of the Album Alchemy series. You won’t wanna miss this.
