This is new but not shrink rapped. In collaboration with Uncle Howie Records – we present the 360-degree story of Non Phixion’s 2002 debut album The Future Is Now (Limited to 800). 

The Future Is Now Premium Edition Includes: 2 CDs, containing the original album vocal versions and instrumentals. Three black vinyl 7”singles featuring original 12-inch artwork: “Black Helicopters,” “Drug Music,” and “Rock Stars”. 

An 80-page, hard-cover liner notes book featuring dozens of group-sourced photos and archival images, and in-depth interviews with all group members by author Chris Faraone. 

Full reproduction of the group’s press-only sampler cassette from 2000 (with early singles, demos, freestyles and promos): “The Past, The Present and the Future Is Now" Expanded artwork from Mear One’s original album visuals.  

By the time Non Phixion’s now-monumental debut album hit in 2002, the group had been on an intense and labyrinthine journey, considering that they had originally formed in 1995. 

At the same time, it was somewhat fitting for a group that was as explosive and unpredictable as they were talented. 

But no matter how The Future Is Now had come about and what path they had taken to get there, rap fans jumped on the album at the time, and still revere it to this day. 

Featuring MCs Ill Bill, Goretex and Sabac [Red] with DJ Eclipse, Brooklyn’s Non Phixion made their first waves as a group in the mid-1990s with the indie singles “Legacy” (1996) and “5 Boros ” (1997), released on MC Serch’s Serchlite Music. 

They fit perfectly into an era in New York City that had produced not only the Wu-Tang Clan, M.O.P. and Mobb Deep, but also underground firebrands and peers like Company Flow and the Arsonists. Aggressive, brazen, intelligent, and never predictable, they were impossible to ignore. 

Not-to-be-missed live shows helped to build their legend and fanbase throughout the end of the ‘90s.
