Audio: Showbiz "The Cloth" [Instrumental]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.showbiz-still_diggin_instrumentals_vol_1

So apparently before we get to the proper Showbiz & AG comeback album we've been promised with tracks like "Here & Now" and "God is 4 Us" it looks like we are going to be treated to an all-instrumental LP from the beat-rocking half of that duo. I know this because the Shogun of the Bronx just dropped this wicked instrumental "The Cloth" and artwork for the new project--apparently titled Still Diggin: Instrumentals Vol. 1 and slated to drop April 24th. I am assuming it's called "The Cloth" because this is the raw material--the fabric, if you will--from which classics raps are made; ethereal harmonies over an evil drum beat in a hypnotizing loop of constantly-modulating polyrhythms. And I just know AG and executive producer DJ Premier are cutting up some flash three-piece gangster suits from that cloth.
