Onra – Fundamentals [Album Stream]

Welcoming Onra back to All City we are delighted to present the Parisian producers third solo LP on the label titled “Fundamentals”. This record, a paean to 90s hip hop & r n b long players, is a LP which wears its golden era inspirations proudly on its sleeve. Far more than the sum of its influences its a retro futuristic sound looking back but thinking forward. A collaborative project with a busy line up, which has taken a while to cook up, the features run the gamut from back in the day heads to box fresh ones.
