Out today! Legendary West Coast Crew Souls of Mischief have released their new album in four formats: CD, Digital, Picture-Disc Vinyl and Cassette Tape!
Last month we confirmed Souls of Mischief were getting set to drop a new album, with the single “There Is Only Now” featuring Snoop Dogg.
The single – and it’s video – is the title track from the Oakland collective’s album, “There Is Only Now,” which dropped today via iTunes.
“There Is Only Now” was recorded much like a blaxploitation film and details a storyline full of love, loss, and revenge. Ali Shaheed Muhammad narrates the unfolding tale as the DJ for a fictional local Oakland radio station. Busta Rhymes makes an appearance as the story’s villain, Womack, on the track “Womack’s Lament.”
William Hart from The Delfonics lends his falsetto, Snoop Dogg adds his perspective on young love on the title track, and Scarub from Living Legends plays the role of Stoney, who is dating a character named Miriam, whom Womack is trying to steal away. “There Is Only Now” has everything in it needs to become a hip-hop classic. The entire album was recorded solely on 2-inch tape together as a group in Adrian’s LA-based studio and will serve as the inaugural release for Adrian’s newly launched label, Linear Labs.
Cop, “There Is Only Now” via iTunes – check the single below!
