Nacrobats Is truly what Chicago underground Hip-Hop in the 90’s was about dope beats, bars, and sounding unique. Following in the footsteps of Common, All Natural and The Molemen. The Nacrobats became an institution for upcoming rappers, producers, dancers, artist, and party promoters of the time. Their DIY aesthetic and over 40+ releases (solo and as a collective) have laid the groundwork for many artists there today. Some of the members featured in this book are Open Mike Eagle, Psalm One, Thaione Davis, Infinito 2017, Damon Reed, and Kenny Keyz. “Nacrobats was the precursor to today's Chicago crews like Save Money (Vic Mensa/ Chance the Rapper) and Pivot Gang. (Saba)..in terms of being dedicated to the culture while progressing it. “ #culturepower45 #limitededition
