Brooklyn’s hip-hop duo Heltah Skeltah and their landmark debut album Nocturnal are back on vinyl for the first time since its original release on June 18, 1996. This latest Coalmine Reissues release — under exclusive license from Universal Music Enterprises — brings Nocturnal’s gritty soundscapes and masterful wordplay back to life, allowing fans both old and new to experience the record that helped shape the sound of ‘90s hip-hop.
Since its release, Nocturnal has held a significant place in the canon of East Coast hip-hop, as Heltah Skeltah (made up of Ruck and Rock) delivered a dark, hard-hitting sound that resonated with hip-hop purists and newcomers alike. Produced by a who’s who of collaborators including Da Beatminerz, Shawn J. Period, E-Swift, and more, Nocturnal introduced audiences to Heltah Skeltah’s raw lyricism and unique chemistry.
The album features breakout singles that have become anthems, including the classic, “Laflaur Leflah Eshkoshka," which brought a streetwise swagger that quickly captivated listeners, reaching #75 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Therapy," with its introspective lyrics and haunting beats, and "Letha Brainz Blo," showcasing their signature blend of dark humor and intricate rhyme schemes, further solidified Heltah Skeltah’s place in hip-hop history.
This limited-edition reissue is a must-have for any vinyl collector or hip-hop enthusiast, capturing a classic era with the sound and style that only Heltah Skeltah could deliver. Don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity to add Nocturnal to your collection
