Non Phixion's sophomore effort, The Future Is Now, is a sonic onslaught that catapults listeners into a dark, unapologetic world of underground hip hop. Released on 1 January 2002 via Uncle Howie Records, this 56-minute masterpiece weaves a complex tapestry of horrorcore, hardcore hip hop, and boom bap, firmly rooting itself in the East Coast hip hop tradition.
Throughout the album's 15 tracks, Non Phixion's unique blend of lyrical dexterity and unflinching social commentary is on full display. From the ominous 'Futurama' to the haunting 'The C.I.A. Is Trying To Kill Me', the group's penchant for crafting infectious, high-energy beats is matched only by their ability to tackle topics both personal and political. Tracks like 'If You Got Love' and 'It's Us' showcase the group's capacity for introspection, while 'Black Helicopters' and 'Suicide Bomb' demonstrate their willingness to confront the darker aspects of modern life.
With The Future Is Now, Non Phixion has created a work that is at once a product of its time and a timeless classic, its themes and sounds remaining as relevant today as they were upon its release. This album is a testament to the group's innovative spirit and their unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of what hip hop can be.
