Blackalicious Is Back And In True-Form w/ Beastly New Single "Blacka"
September 18th of 2015 will mark the fourth studio outing from Blackalicious, ending a ten-year drought from the Sacramento-bred duo, no doubt a massive moment for "real hip-hop" fans. Today, they've unleashed the first taste of their successfully-crowdfundedImani Vol. 1 LP in golden-era-calling single "Blacka"; a heaping dose of prideful nostalgia that utilizes the boom-bap styles we've long know them for and proves that after 10 years removed, Chief Xcel and Gift of Gab are as sharp in 2015 as they were in 1992. But don't take it from us, hear Blackalicious' new joint down below along with their full list of forthcoming your dates. Oh, and be sure to hold tight, as they claim this to be just the first installment of a three-LP run. Preorder the record via PledgeMusic today.
