Andre Nickatina-These r The Tales(2000){1337x}.mp3

320/Bitrate

With a penchant for old-school rhymes and lo-fi beats, Andre Nickatina hails from the West Coast. He released Cocaine Raps and Raven in My Eyes simultaneously on the Dogday imprint, but it was the trilogy of 1999's Tears of a Clown and 2000's These R the Tales and Daiquiri Factory Cocaine Raps that put Nickatina on the West Coast circuit. After these releases emerged during what was highly regarded as his golden period, Nickatina followed up in 2003 with the highly ambitious CD/movie project Conversation With a Devil.

These R the Tales is the seventh album released by rapper, Andre Nickatina. It was released on November 14, 2000, for Fillmoe Coleman Records and was produced by Andre Nickatina, Nick Peace, Juilan Piccolo, Laird, Smoov-E, DJ Pause and the Fillmoe Coleman Band (Black Diamond & Tebo). Fellow Bay Area legend, San Quinn makes an appearance on the album.
