The 15th Anniversary Reissue of Nineteen Ninety Now celebrates the landmark 2010 collaboration between Celph Titled and Buckwild, pairing Celph’s punchline-driven rhymes with Buckwild’s timeless 1990s production. Released via DEMIGODZ Enterprises in partnership with Coalmine Reissues, this special edition pays tribute to the craft and detail of hip-hop’s golden era.

Born from a box of unreleased Buckwild beats from the ’90s, Nineteen Ninety Now bridges eras by combining vintage production with new verses. “Instead of trying to make a record that sounded like the ’90s, we took beats that were made back at that time and made new songs,” says Celph. The result stands as a timeless, one-of-a-kind project that continues to resonate 15 years later.

The ‘94 Source Edition cassette reimagines Nineteen Ninety Now through the lens of a mid-’90s rap classic. The front cover captures the look and feel of a coveted 5 Mic feature, while the rest of the layout mirrors a vintage Source spread, complete with a written foreword by former Source staff writer Soren Baker and even a nod to The Fat Tape. Remastered by D-Sane for Digital Age Sound, this marks the first-ever cassette release of the album, arriving right on time for the 15th Anniversary Reissue Campaign. Limited to just 200 copies worldwide, it’s pressed on smoke tint shells with black liners and housed in clear Norelco cases, featuring full-color J-cards printed on both sides, designed by the acclaimed Mr. Krum.

This alternate cover edition is an homage to the golden era of hip-hop journalism. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Source magazine.
