Start.Of.The.Line has covered The Package in their You Should Hear column. Thanks for the links!
This album that stirs 2 parts forward thinking hip-hop with a dash of nostalgia to create ‘New Golden Era’. Nearly every track on here showcases a different side of their sound (The Drug might be my favorite song to reference Pancho Villa) and the different styles of each of the groups three members, Dimes, Theory & Noyeek
The Package got some coverage on AltRap.com. Check em out. They got the behind the scenes videos from the Makin’ Waves video shoot!
One of the recent tracks, ‘Making Waves’ has just been remixed by Kev Brown and is getting spins from Pete Rosenberg on his late night Hot 97 show… matter of fact the track impressed Rosenberg so much he ended up directing the video. Myspace blurb, track, and behind-the-scenes video to follow - keep an eye on these cats… I’m feeling this shit a lot.
Welcome to the new online home of The Package: NewGoldenEra.com
Our web team has been hard at work putting this project together. We are now live and in full effect!
Take a look around and let us know what you think! PEACE!
The name of the album accurately describes their sound as being much like the mid 90s Hip Hop many of us grew up on. I hear strong influences from Busta Rhymes and Goodie Mob, but they’re doing their own thing and it’s obvious their influences run much deeper than that.
Pardon Me Duke has posted the Kev Brown remix of The Package’s “Making Waves.” Free download. New Golden Era EXCLUSIVE!
Shout out to Kev Brown & Low Budget!
Video directed by Hot97’s Peter Rosenberg coming soon!

The good folks over at The Full Clip had this to say about The Package
These cats are a healthy blend of the sounds of The Roots, Goodie Mob, The Pharcyde, and Siah & Yeshua (I know, Im all over the map). Think okayplayer. They are versatile enough to break out the D’Angelo-esque love song but also hit you with something for the trunk too.
