One For Being Me

A 10 track alternative rap/hip-hop album (39m 28s) — released September 23rd 2013 on The Natural Curriculum

Chalk - 'One For Being Me' is the fourth release from Mancunian hip-hop super crew The Natural Curriculum (TNC). In 2011 TNC released their debut album the 'Dayse & Aver EP' which received critical acclaim from various DJs including Mr. Scruff & DJ Format, with The Quietus describing the album as "stunning" with "an almost-Cabaret Voltaire (ab)use of deep bass and jittery technology".

Over the past 8 years TNC have created a unique brand of hip-hop focused around sharp, intelligent lyricism backed by industrial boom-bap beats crafted from meticulously researched samples that have then been layered with heavy beatbox percussion and DJ wizardry. Chalk's first solo venture sees him continuing this tradition whilst also drawing on influences such as The Pharcyde & A Tribe Called Quest to add a variety of tongue in cheek, feel good vibes to the already wide ranging lyrical spectrum explored in TNC's previous group projects. Chalk's first official outing as an MC on the 'TNC EP' was described by Wordplay Magazine as "sinister and brilliant... A dark masterpiece."
