The Third Hand will be out March 6, 2007. First impression of this album is surprising. RJD2 not only produced the tracks he played the instruments as well as the vocals. The Third Hand is not the usual RJ hip-hop vibe, yet a new experiment. An experiment that will take time to get use to. Here is some samples. Immediately after the album release RJ plans to have a US tour.

RollingStones-The third disc from this Toronto MC-crooner-producer is as warm and expansive a hip-hop record as you’ll hear all year: bright, big-beat rap with twists such as the discoish “Black Ice” and the very pretty “Valhalla,” which features Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene.
Mr J Medeiros of the Procussions – the solo album is titled “Of Gods & Girls “. Many producers put their work into this album such as Joe Beats of Non Prophets, Stro of the Procussions, Headnodic of Crown City Rockers, Ohmega Watts of LightHeaded, and 20syl of Hocus Pocus.
