Sadat X - Never Left: Anniversary Edition (2XLP) [V.I.Preorder]

Never Left — first time ever on vinyl.

Eleven years ago, Sadat X — Brand Nubian co-founder and one of Hip-Hop's most unique voices — dropped an album called Never Left, a love letter to the city that raised him. Stacked with features from Cormega, Black Rob, King T, Skyzoo, Dres, Craig G, Chi-Ali, Lord Jamar, and more. The album was officially released in January of 2015, with a Deluxe version dropping in September of the same year.  It's a real NYC, Hip-Hop album that's lived on DSPs, CD, and Cassette for over a decade — but never once been pressed to wax.

Until now!!

For its anniversary, we're giving Never Left the vinyl debut it always deserved: a limited Anniversary Edition double LP, on classic black or limited gold. Only 500 pressed — 350 Black / 150 Gold. And this isn't a straight repress. The album has been newly mixed and mastered specifically for vinyl, with select updates to the original recordings — including the "Live & Ya Learn" Remix featuring Rell, (formerly of Roc-A-Fella Records), exclusive to this pressing. Even if you've had this album for years, you've never heard it like this.
