Vin Rican is back with yet another installment of the Wax Only series with the newest episode featuring A Tribe Called Quest’s ‘Midnight Marauders’ project.

Making the group’s third 2018 appearance on the throwback series, ‘Midnight Marauders’ dropped back in 1993 for the collective’s third studio album released through Jive Records. The project featured production mostly from group member Q-Tip with additional production credit from Skiff Anselm, Large Professor, and Tribe’s DJ Ali Shaheed Muhammad. The album continued the hip-hop group’s use of jazz, soul, and R&B samples with socially conscious lyrics.

The album debited at number eight on the Billboard 200 albums chart and featured tracks “Award Tour” which features Trugoy The Dove, “Electric Relaxation,” and “Oh My God.” Vin Rican flips through samples the group lifted from artists like Weldon Irvine, Milt Jackson, Busy Bee and Rodney Cee, Jack Wilkins, and many more
