Nate the Great has shared a new album called Still Pressure. Naquan Brown, better known by his stage name Nate the Great, is an artist hailing from Far Rockaway, Queens, New York. With a passionate feel to his art and content, Nate is a versatile lyricist and producer who blends his love for anime, video games, and other avenues of pop culture into his sharp lyricism. His latest album Still Pressure, follows up a prolific string of releases with a heartfelt, inspiring release featuring appearances from the likes of A.D.V.I.S.S., Subjxct 5, and more.
Nate the Great demonstrates a natural skill for relatable, down-to-earth introspection, as he weaves together poignantly personal narratives throughout Still Pressure. The hypnotic, airy soundscape of “Retreat” brings in influences from both boom-bap and cloud rap while it paints the perfect canvas for Nate’s cathartic, vividly poetic lyricism. Glitchy, memorable grooves on “Overnight” make for an infectious listen as Nate touching on overcoming obstacles and maintaining a strong work ethic- while the latter is somewhat apparent intrinsically across the album. Nate comes off as a hard-working artist with focus on Still Pressure, as he goes the extra mile to create worlds for the listener sonically and lyrically. The potent “The Force Awakens”, produced by Subjxct 5, provides a highlight on Still Pressure with its weaving, lush samples and powerful lyricism.
