If the post title did not grab your attention then this surely will because El-P will be dropping a new album. The album is called Cancer for Cure or C4C for short and will include his much sought after single, “Drones Over Bklyn” first established by the Adult Swim Singles Program website.  The album will drop on May 22, 2012 but if you did like I did and purchased the G-Money Deluxe (that includes both El-P – Cancer for Cure Vinyl Super Deluxe and the El-P produced Killer Mike – R.A.P. Music Vinyl Deluxe Package) then you could be listening to the album right now. The original date for the vinyl was going to be released on May 29th but due to unforeseen delays the package will not be available until June 4th. To compensate the fans for the delay, they have given us the Cancer for Cure digital album early and will allow others to order a vinyl package to download the release today also. There are three vinyl packages to choose from to get the digital download:

Vinyl Deluxe
(shipping June 4th): 2xLP Vinyl + Poster + Album Download

Vinyl Super Deluxe
(shipping June 4th): 4xLP Color Vinyl – SUPER LIMITED (Album is “Electric Blue”, Instrumental is “Blood Red”) + Poster + Album Download

G-MONEY DELUXE!
PLEASE NOTE – (Shipping June 4th) Includes Both El-P Vinyl Super Deluxe and the El-P produced Killer Mike Vinyl Deluxe Package

That is all I got, time to get back to El-P – Cancer for Cure.

So I was listening to some of Cage’s previous albums and decided to do a little search on the internet to see what he is up to. Well I hit the jack pot because it seems like he will be dropping two EPs in the near future so he is dropping new joints on his SoundCloud page. All of the songs are jamming on there but the one that caught me the most was his song called, “Super Baked”. Producer FSTLANE gives Cage the perfect backdrop to infuse his haunting lyrics over and they blend perfectly. I can’t wait for the new albums and the new songs he will be leaking on his page. Check out, “Super Baked” below.

It came in today, my deluxe package of Opio’s Vulture’s Wisdom, Volume II. It came with three stickers that say, “93 til.” A t-shirt with the Opio logo on the front and the CD of Vulture’s Wisdom, Volume II. The album is banging like we all knew it would be and the artwork and package compliment it well. Here is a picture of what you get if you order (go to Art by Ecliptic Sight for a larger view):

I have always been a fan of Hieroglyphics and their music and I am still glad they are still putting it down for hip-hop. They have never stopped so this is not a come back. It is just time for Pep Love to shine on his own with his new album, “Rigmarole“. Rigmarole has lots of different meanings but I think this one would suit it best:

rig·ma·role

Which is why we are getting this album now.  The first single and video, “Can’t Nobody Do It Like Us” (see below), doesn’t need to be explained it is just want it says nobody does it like Hiero. The second single and video (see below), “Hip Hop My Friend” does a great job of making you feel the way you felt the first time you heard good hip-hop in your soul with a sample to get you in that zone. The album will be released March 6, 2012 and he currently has a pre-order (which I bought the deluxe verison) of three bundles:
