Damnit. After weeks of suppressing the album's existence from my memory, I can suppress no more. I cannot stop thinking about how good this thing is about to sound. 4 more days.

Been sleeping on Junglepussy. JP5000 is very good. Excited to hear what she brings to the table.

Also revisited High Bias. I love Tar Baby. Such a deliciously sinister beat by Fanon. MATTIE steals the show. Fortunately I have not slept on her. Jupiter's Purse EP is a mind-altering listen. Hope she gets more Backwoodz appearances.

This is gonna' be phenomenal.

man whenever i see your avi i gotta think of Tommy Le Homme, one of my favorite npcs ever

A proper gentle soul. Those were some hard-hitting conversations.

review of the album

YOOOO

So they really doin bassy electronic industrial type beats all over this one can’t wait

IT is cool song.... i was expecting that EL drop some fan dam or cold vain type of beat , but this is cool , im sure that when i listen this album as a whole ..... it would be much better

I think this is gonna be that next actual real underground classic we talking about forever

Fielded album great btw stop sleeping

Rehearsed for We Are the World and got cut for Chris Hayes

New York Times profile out now

Another bit of reading since I certainly ain't listening to anything yet.

Expands a bit on the process behind it and how Shabaka Hutchings was key.

I'm just going to go ahead and say it.

I am rather excited for this album. I think it will be quite good.

New AH & Rome Streetz dropping the same day.

I will say: the album cover feels anticlimactic considering what's preceded.

Though I don't know if that building holds some significance I'm missing.

Reminiscent of Race Music, but I agree.. Was hoping for something more

Yeah I would mind it far less if they hadn't already done this style of cover for Race Music.

Would really love if El started producing for ppl & doing solo stuff again especially with where the scene is now. Feel like he won’t go solo like that cus he’s tethered to RTJ seemingly for good but I’m hopeful cus he fits so well

It’s a nice full-circle moment to cap the decade since that records release

We eating good this friday
