Royal Flush – Ghetto Millionaire (2LP Reissue Aqua & Black Ice Vinyl) [Coalmine Records CM114]

Coalmine Reissues is pleased to announce this special edition reissue of Royal Flush’s time-honoured debut LP, ‘Ghetto Millionaire’, marking just the second time the vinyl has ever been repressed.

Royal Flush first jumped on the scene as a part of New York’s burgeoning Queensboro hip-hop scene of the mid 90s. Coming up under the wings of Mic Geronimo as part of the infamous Wastlanz crew, Flush shadowed Geronimo on over half of the album cuts featured throughout Geronimo’s ‘The Natural’, creating a memorable one-two punch akin to Ghostface Killah’s heavy presence on Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.

‘Ghetto Millionaire’ hit in August of 1997 and perfectly captures the mid-to-late 90s sound of East Coast street rap with a notable production roster that boasts Da Beatminerz, L.E.S., Buckwild, Hi-Tek and Chyskillz among others. The album is a memorable trip to the latter half of the Golden Era, abound with Flush’s crime-ridden world of hardcore street rap that’s backed by a first-rate soundscape.
