Could you see him being that unintentionally wrong? like he was the previous month when he was suggesting Willie Bobo was from Latin America? Cause I could. Storf is kinda fast and loose with his clues and people try to decode the subtext like they’re Alan Turing but usually the right answers are the obvious ones and he probably goofed and pluralize the clue. I am not 100% sure Knxweldge is the pick but I feel more confident in that than In Storf’s clues being accurate currently.

Figured he would be more on point after last month's blunder but that's what I get for figuring I suppose

Yeah. VMP is usually pretty good at correcting problems that they've recently had.

Some of his other production credits include "Killuminati" by Joey Bada$$ & "Momma" by Kendrick Lamar (from TPAB). And if you haven't checked out the "Yes Lawd!" album he did with .Paak as NxWorries, I definitely recommend that one!

Looks like VMP will continue its amazing Rap & Hip-Hop ROTM streak since Handsome Boy School Modelling....if we get Knxwledge!!! 
I think Hud Dreams is an incredible beat-tape/instrumental album. It’s instrumentally rich because you have flutes, pianos, trumpets, saxophones, drums, vibraphones, harps - just so many different instruments across the tracklisting. And you notice these instruments because Knxwledge does a great job at making them shine, yet not so obviously. The samples are very well executed because they help make the abstract beats/rhythms feel more accessible without compromising the art. The music blends effortlessly and you can tell the production and loops have been carefully constructed, but it doesn’t feel calculated.
Overall, Hud Dreams is really woozy, yet funky and colourful and soulful. I love the heavy jazzy undertones and I love the clever sampling. It really is does feel a Madvillainy instrumentals kind of release, without having that medieval, mysterious sound!
I’ll be very happy if we do end up getting Hud Dreams as our next Rap & Hip-Hop ROTM! I’m super excited for it!
PS - This is an album I can imagine so many café’s and alternative hip shops playing because it’s a bit easy on the ear, yet has that abstract, edgy, playful sound!

WHO ELSE IS SUPER EXCITED TO GET KNXWLEDGE!!! 
This beat tape is made to be played on vinyl. That’s another thing that’s so great about the beats on Hud Dreams, you know it’ll sound excellent on vinyl compared to streaming, just like with most of the Classics ROTM’s!!!
I’m so keen to get Hud Dreams! It really is a classic instrumental soulful, jazzy, hip-hop release!!!

I don't understand this response? Isn't this album widely available for much cheaper than VMP is offering it? If you loved this tape so much, why don't you own it already?

Because I buy so much vinyl already, so I can’t get everything I love! And I spend so much on vinyl, so Knxwledge’s Hud Dreams wasn’t a priority. I’m sure if I collected vinyl from 2015, I would’ve grabbed it when it came out! But I only got releases from 2015 I really liked on vinyl - Kendrick Lamar, Kamasi Washington, Tame Impala, Neon Indian, Lianna La Havas, Earl Sweatshirt.
I prefer albums released by those artists in 2015 more than Knxwledge’s Hud Dreams!
But omg, I’m so happy we are going to get an awesome looking pressing of Hud Dreams!

The VMP edition will look sexier! Plus, VMP still have excellent customer service in my opinion

So you know how we are getting Knxwledge’s Hud Dreems and how VMP previously pressed Yes Lawd and Madvillainy? Well I reckon it would be dope if we got L’Orange & Jeremiah Jae’s “The Night Took Us In Like Family”. It’s definitely up VMP’s alley! It also came out in 2015 and it would be so fun spinning it on the turntable

Honestly Nathan, your posts lately have been reading like you are a VMP shill, no lie. The VMP pressing will not be better than the standard one at all. They're going to use the same plates like they did with Method Man.. so please stop, it's embarrassing.

Haha, Clint, have you never seen any @NathanRicaud posts before? He is always super positive and enthusiastic and because those feelings are a lot harder for me to come by it is awe inspiring in a way and I respect him for that.

Maybe I've just been paying attention lately due to his spamming of Lil Kim/Mariah and now this. It's ok to be super positive and I have no issue with that.. but when you call literally everything amazing, it makes nothing amazing. Because everything is. Have a little fucking nuance I guess?
