DESCRIPTION 

Nearly thirty years removed from its original release, Coalmine Reissues is pleased to unearth this special edition reissue of Mic Geronimo’s debut LP, The Natural, which marks the first time the album has been repressed since 2012.

Following the success of classic albums from Nas (llmatic), and Mobb Deep (their sophomore LP, The Infamous), the borough of Queens had proven itself to be a mecca of talent, and so the hunt was on the find the next promising emcee to fuel the momentum. It would take a local high school talent show for Geronimo’s talents to be discovered by soon-to-be music mogul Irv Gotti, and a deal with Blunt Recordings for the release of Mic’s debut effort.

In addition to an era-defining soundscape with production credits from Da Beatminerz and Buckwild, among others, the album boasts a notable line-up of guest appearances from The Lost Boyz, Royal Flush and O.C., along with a burgeoning Jay Z, DMX and Ja Rule, who all appear on the celebrated posse cut “Time to Build,” marking the first Murder Inc. collaboration.

The Natural is coming for Record Store Day 2024 in a ghostly gold colored vinyl run.
