Boom-Bap in 2009?!! Blaq Poet and DJ Premier Say Yes w/ The BlaqPrint

[Mumbo Sauce]

Just when you thought that boom-bap hip-hop has gone the way of the dinosaur, Queensbridge's Blaq Poet has teamed up w/ frequent collaborator DJ Premier to drop The Blaqprint.
Premo's sound is on all but two of the tracks on this album. In an era where a kid might need to bring a new dance to get a single out, this is much, much needed.
The album will be released on Premo's Year Round Records.

Creating unadulterated, authentic, New York boom-bap requires the right touch, and to ensure Tha Blaqprint would have the proper musical aesthetic Blaq Poet joined forces with legendary producer, long-time collaborator, and friend DJ Premier. Elsewhere the album features production from producer-extraordinaire Easy Mo Bee (Notorious B.I.G., GZA, 2Pac) and Gemcrates, a young producer on the rise. In a time when albums lack musical consistency and emcees and producers rarely find themselves in the studio together, Poet's true-school formula shines bright on his new LP.
