K-Def & Blu Have Some Words For The Boys In Blue w/ Their Latest Collab

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

I accidentally let this one slip through the cracks last week, so pardon my lateness. It’s currently September, and K-Def has plans of releasing four (yes, four) albums before the ball drops. One of those projects is entitled, The Way It Was. "a special collection of tracks gathered from K's 20 plus year career as a Hip Hop producer. The album contains notable instrumentals originally released in the 90's during his House of Hitz run, many curated from cassettes, DAT's, floppies and even vinyl B-Sides to be reproduced/remastered for this collection.” Some of that 90s material is updated with vocal contributions from Blu (on 3 tracks), Quartermaine, Kunal, and Damu The Fudgemunk. To give us a sample, we get one of the K-Def x Blu tracks, “The Boys.” The track features a beat from 92’ from an old K-Def beat tape, with new verses from Blu touching on the issue of police brutality. Check the track, below, and get more info on all four of K-Def’s upcoming albums, here.
