The Future is Now is a truly awesome hip hop record by Brooklyn outfit Non Phixion (Ill Bill, Goretex, Sabac Red, Dj Eclipse) backed by quality beats from a plethora of artists including Necro and Dj Premier. This band first got going in the mid 90s but couldn't find a label, amazingly it wasn't until 2002 when this first album was relesed.
But what a stunning debut album it is, not one for the youngsters though with a fair bit of profanity, this album covers lots of subjects but has a political focus throughout.
The two tracks that really stand out are Black Helicopters and The C.I.A is trying to kill me, obviously being quite a big fan of guitars - I quite like the latter version on the album which is rocky. Having selected those tracks out of the pack, I don't mean to undermine any of the other tracks which are all pretty good aswell, the album is solid throughout. This is a nice relatively underground hip hop album that stands head and shoulders above the crud produced by Timbaland. Black Helicopter is like Eminem tackling tougher subjects than he usually does with the backing track of a hurdy-gurdy and is only outdone by The C.I.A. is Trying to Kill me, a powerful song full of legendary but vulgar rapping with a dramatical backing track. most probably to denote paranoia.

Album Reviews
CMJ (4/22/02, p.20) - "...Gritty and thoughtful, and words come a mile a minute....[it] runs the gamut from large, orchestral instrumentals...to the IDM-inspired outer-space tones of synth and drum machines..."
