About “Nocturnal”

Nocturnal was the debut album of Brownsville duo Heltah Skeltah, derived from the Boot Camp Clik collective, in 1996. It was released via Duck Down Records, and features singles “Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka”, “Operation Lock Down” and “Therapy”.

Before his passing, member Sean Price (known on the album as Ruck, with his eponymous track) explained the title in a 2014 interview:

Before Nocturnal, Rock used to mug people in the street and I used to take trips out of town selling drugs. That really was our life like at nighttime when we was living so that’s why we went with “Nocturnal”. When everybody is asleep, we out making moves.

The album earned very strong reviews, now hailed as an underground classic in the hip hop community. Rappers with similar status such as Royce Da 5'9" have show their appreciation for the LP in recent years.
