In honor of Grand Puba's induction into the National Hip-Hop Museum, his classic record RetroActive has beeen pressed for the first time ever and made available for pre-order in baby blue vinyl for shipping on September 27th.

Released in 2009, RetroActive highlights the qualities that have made Grand Puba a legend in hip-hop. His smooth, silky flows grace soulful, boom-bap beats with an uncanny elegance. Across his solo career, Puba has had several successful albums, including his 1995 album 2000, which peaked at number five on Billboard's R&B / Hip-Hop Top 200 chart. Puba also furthered his impact in hip-hop as a founding member of hip-hop trio Brand Nubian, best known for their records "Slow Down" and "Wake Up" from their 1990 album One for All. Using his early works to establish a strong fanbase that has expanded and strengthened since the '90s, Puba has solidified his legacy in hip-hop's storied history.

Puba's appearance and performance at the National Hip-Hop Museum's coincides with his induction into the newfound and acclaimed establishment, whose Executive Director is Master Gee, a multi-platinum recording artist, founder and the voice of the legendary hip-hop group, The Sugarhill Gang. Between Puba's contributions to Brand Nubian and his extended solo career, the New York native has collected a long list of accolades and acclaims that make his induction into the National Hip-Hop Museum a no-brainer. As such, to commemorate this accomplishment, Babygrande has released this limited, first-ever pressing of RetroActive.
