Baseball and Summertime. Peanut Butter and Jelly. Ross and Rachel. These are all pairs of things that truly belong together. And finally, after years of waiting, legendary Detroit hip hop producer Nick Speed has joined forces with the infamous techno collective, Underground Resistance, to release a vinyl titled “Speed of Sound.”
While the combination of Nick Speed and UR seems like a natural fit, kids today may be shocked to find out that it wasn’t until the last few years that the two forces combined powers.
In an article for TheLoopDetroit.com, Speed chronicles how he worked with Detroit rapper on Danny Brown on the track “What Up Doe?,” which samples Model 500’s “Night Drive (Thru Babylon).” The track blew up, and this led to the meeting between Speed and Model 500’s very own Juan Atkins, and next thing you know, Alter Ego Management’s Cornelius Harris and UR’s “Mad” Mike Banks got involved.
Speed began working with the folks over at UR, and soon thereafter, Speed entered into the world of vinyl. The result is “Speed of Sound,” which is available NOW on Submerge.
Order this vinyl today for only $6.99! No really, do it. Here’s the link again.
