Lyrics Born is one of the hardest working people we know…he’s been at it for 23 years and released 8 albums and 7 mixtapes. He’s compiling it all in a Greatest Hits package to be released in the Spring, but he is doing a Kickstarter to gather the funds to press up some special copies. Hop over to check out the pledge packages and the new exclusive song:
Stretch & Bobbito teamed up with Omar Acosta to create a documentary about their legendary WKCR show (and the subsequent success of the artists they broke). They are currently doing a Kickstarter to help fund post-production. Please pitch in if you can!

The Coup announce their new album, Sorry to Bother You, out Oct 30th. Here’s a sneak peek at the cover and a message from Boots:
The album cover was done by Imps Of Marge And Fletch. No Photoshop used.
You can check out the first song, “The Magic Clap”, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Also, we launched a kickstarter campaign to buy a tourbus to get this music out there and to combine our music with radical organizers in different cities.
You can pre-order the album through our kickstarter campaign as well.

Peace!
