Rasco - Time Waits for No Man (Special Edition Reissue) - 2025

 2xLP - 2025 - Coalmine Records 

" Rasco’s Time Waits for No Man stands as a cornerstone of West Coast underground hip- hop, blending unflinching lyricism with top-tier production and a reverence for the culture. Originally released in 1998, the album marked the first full-length hip-hop project from the iconic Stones Throw Records, cementing their legacy as a launching pad for independent artists.

The album showcases Rasco’s no-nonsense approach, focusing heavily on his prowess as an emcee and his commitment to preserving hip- hop’s authenticity. With a commanding voice and sharp, no-frills lyricism, Rasco delivers on every track, ensuring his presence is felt throughout.

Guest appearances from underground heavyweights like Dilated Peoples, Defari, Encore, and Planet Asia, along with contributions from turntablists Vin Roc, DJ Revolution, DJ Babu, and D-Styles. Meanwhile, an all-star production roster featuring Peanut Butter Wolf, Paul Nice, Kut Masta Kurt, and Fanatik provides a sonic foundation that perfectly complements Rasco’s rugged delivery.

This Collector’s Edition 2XLP features the original artwork, enhanced with subtle rebranding elements by Mr. Krum to commemorate the reissue. Pressed on classic black vinyl, the release is sonically elevated through a fresh remaster by D-Sane of Digital Age Sound, giving this underground classic the long-overdue vinyl treatment it deserves " - courtesy of Coalmine Records
