Truth channels pure nostalgia on “Want It Back,” a rugged call to restore hip-hop’s lost essence.
Over Beatminerz production laced with eerie samples and pounding drums, he delivers sharp, defiant bars that honor the culture’s golden era:
“I want that old New York back, Timbs and bucket hats…”
The tension in the beat mirrors his urgency, making it both reflection and warning.
“Want It Back” drops alongside studio album Nostalgia ThEraPy 2 via Animal Military Records, produced by DJ Evil Dee & Mr. Walt.
Truth - Nostalgia ThEraPy 2
Queens emcee Truth reunites with the legendary production duo Da Beatminerz (DJ Evil Dee & Mr. Walt) for Nostalgia ThEraPy 2, the follow-up to last year’s acclaimed Nostalgia ThEraPy. Once again, the collaboration delivers a potent dose of East Coast boom bap, with seven new cuts packed with dusty drums, gritty basslines, and sharp lyricism.
Truth sounds hungrier than ever, pairing razor-edged bars with that signature Beatminerz sound that helped shape a generation of East Coast hip-hop. The project features an all-star lineup that includes Psycho Les, Tragedy Khadafi, and Royal Flush, with precision cuts from DJ JS-1 on three standout tracks. From the anthemic lead single “Check It Out” to the lyrical fireworks of “Cause for Concern”, every record captures the authenticity and energy of golden-era New York.
Elsewhere, Truth channels raw nostalgia on “Want It Back,” demanding a return to hip-hop’s roots of originality and integrity, while “Redrum Seen” and “Done Did It” showcase his wordplay over sinister horns and pounding percussion, both elevated by JS-1’s signature scratches.
With Nostalgia ThEraPy 2, Truth and Da Beatminerz deliver more than just another boom bap record. It’s a masterclass in timeless hip-hop craftsmanship. The album drops on Friday 21st November via Animal Military Records, following the release of its debut single “Check It Out” due out on Thursday 6th November.
