Just when you least expected it, Bishop Lamont is getting ready to release his long awaited album “The Reformation”. It’s been about six years since Bishop first spoke to Dubcnn about it, just before the project turned into “Detox” little cousin. Since his departure from Aftermath two years ago, Bishop took things in his own hands and reformed “The Reformation”.
Fast forward, the Carson rapper recently released a promotional visual for “Sodom and Gomorah”, which will be released in full length on January 12. The song serves as the first single off “The Reformation” (which they also like to call “God Damn N*gga, It’s About Fucking Time!”) and it was said to be leaked tomorrow. Produced by King Karnov.

Dave NY recruited Chali2Na, Rapper Big Pooh and Bishop for the verses. It’s called “Music Is All That I Got” and it’s available for purchase on iTunes. Produced by Astronote.

Judging from the artwork, Demrick (aka Young De) is choppin’ heads off on his latest mixtape offering called “#HeadsUp”. De keeps his circle of guest appearances small, those being the usual suspects Xzibit and singer Brevi on a good number of songs. Producion was handled by DJ Fingaz, Rikanatti, Jim Jonsin, 21, The Futuristiks, and others.
