Nightmares On Wax – Shout Out! To Freedom... (2xLP)

'This latest soundtrack from his pen feels like a long overdue reunion with a long lost friend: instantly you recognise the familiar traits, it ensnares you and draws you into a world that is distinctively his - the world of N.O.W. After all, this time you can identify three things that came together to clearly shape this album: a personal stroke of fate, a whole lot of time (a side effect of Pandemic) and Black Lives Matter.

Now more of a bandleader, he put out feelers and made contact with young talent whose approach somehow seemed to fit N.O.W.. Soon he was in contact with the likes of Shabaka Hutchings, Haile Supreme, Mara TK and Sabrina Mahfouz. He also approached Greentea Peng, OSHUN and Pip Millett, explaining the thrust: they all agreed and used the freedoms and liberties implied in the title in their own way, delivering their very own definition of freedom set to music.' - Don Letts aka The Rebel Dread.
