"You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance -- of things and ideas. You just crossed over into... Elevator Music." -- Rod Serling (almost)

Similar to Houston, the album is a sonic melting pot -- combining the booming bass of hip-hop, the quirky sounds of alternative music and psychedelic lyricism of a young Dr. Cornel West stuck in a timewarp writing a letter of love and freedom to the people of the future. The album serves as a musical marriage of Nate Drop's old soul-2020 twang delivery and ERIC's (the album's producer) myriad of Latin, Electronic and Underground Hip-Hop influences. The album also features appearances by Fat Tony and ProphetiK.

As the song, "Travelers" from the album states, its: "Got Da Vinci Instagrammin' Cleopatra in Miama in a Louie V. bikini/Huey P. is busy dancing to "Killing Me Softly" with Queen Victoria/Dr. King is drinking lean from Lil Jon's pimp cup." In other words, the album is a lyrical mindfunk that will have you turnin' up in your car/at your desk/on the treadmill while you try to figure out why these two kids from the University of Houston didn't put the album out sooner.

Often likened to Andre 3000, Nate Drop's ELEVATOR MUSIC is set to be The Love Below that you need in your life in 2014. Follow Nate's journey through the discovery of self, love and peace in the musical journey known as ELEVATOR MUSIC.

All Night

A message from the future. A love song born from the aftermath of a relationship disrupted by distance. Bouncy beats and groovy rhythmic patterns help tell this story of hindsight and love's realization.

Nate Drop is a millennial lyricist and a product of the 1990s. A Houston-native, Jonathan Harris became acquainted with music through the gospel, funk and jazz music his mother would play. Drop found his lyrical identity after writing various narrative forms in his teens such as short stories, poetry and news articles for the Houston Chronicle. Despite being sheltered from much of rap music during his childhood, the internet and access to online music sharing would bring hip-hop to him in his high school years. Artists such as Missy Elliott, Outkast, Lil Wayne and Erykah Badu became his biggest influences. In 2014, he released his first solo project, Elevator Music. The ten-track album featured appearances from former bandmate from The Grande Collective, Prophetik and former classmate, Fat Tony. Later, he would release a remix to the album’s title track featuring Kristal Cherelle. Four years since the release of Elevator Music, Drop is preparing his new H.U.E.S. EP.
