New York hip-hop group Ratking broke through with the success of their 2012 EP Wiki93. Two years later, the outfit have finally prepared their first full-length statement.
Called So It Goes, the band's debut album continues to showcase their love of golden era New York sounds. It helps that they tapped Jay Z/Notorious B.I.G./Diplomats collaborator Young Guru as an engineer.
So It Goes features 11 songs from the outfit and guest appearances from the likes of Wavy Spice, Salomon Faye and even deep-voiced British crooner King Krule.
The album, we're told, will establish the band as one of New York's most unique rap acts. As a press release states, "Call it 'no wave' rap. Call it 'no school' hip-hop."
So It Goes will be available on April 8 via Hot Charity. The album's "Canal" can be streamed below.
