In promotion for Nutso’s upcoming extended play offering Behind These Bars, which drops next Tuesday (9/18) via Poor Pocket Muzik, the Q-Borough mic vet drops the project’s token solo track in dedication of his two vices, “Weed And Alcohol.” Produced by Switzerland’s Dee Metto, the track finds the Flushing rhymesayer talkin’ greasy over chopped-n-screwed samples and slow-rolling percussion, showcasing just how far he can step outside the galaxy….of Queens. Check out the cover art and tracklist (below) for next Tuesday’s release.

Mello Music Group is ecstatic to announce Dice Game, a 16 track collaborative album between Detroit’s Guilty Simpson & Apollo Brown. The former’s work with Madlib and Dilla already establish him as one of the current greats on the mic and the latter’s heralded music with OC and his own group, The Left, hint towards a similar path in his own canon. The Motor City titans join forces to create an unabashedly hardcore record, without catering to the club or radio.
The full-length album is rife with aggressive content that does not sacrifice quality and musicality. This is music for OG’s, for heads who hunger for that quality street music before the genre by-and-large made a caricature of itself. Though the block may be getting icy by release November 13th, stay on the corner with a few veterans and shoot a Dice Game.

‘A Dream Deferred’ features songs with Jill Scott, Talib Kweli, Freeway, Raheem Devaughn, Jared Evan, DJ Prince, and Jessy Wilson.
Skyzoo describes the cover, drawn by Chilean artist Fabian Ciraolo (www.fabianciraolo.blogspot.com) as a perfect representation to what the album sounds like. Skyzoo goes on to explain that “the idea was to demonstrate the feel of being in a dream and I wanted the album to represent that visually as well. Fabian’s work contains his signature star speckled background on all of his designs, so it made sense to use him with the stars representing a dreamy atmosphere. He’s an incredible artist and did an excellent job of bringing the theme of the album to life.”
