When it’s 3am, it’s eternal. Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek know what time it us, and thus they are Reflection Eternal and the duo are about to drop another collaboration in the form of an album they call Revolutions Per Minute (it always goes back to vinyl), due out on March 23rd. With a title like Revolutions Per Minute, one would expect for it to be released on vinyl but as of now it will be out on CD and digitally via the usual places.
MF DOOM? MC Serch? Beatnuts? Hi-Tek? 88-Keys? No, this is not your made-up fantasy hip-hop football league, but rather some of the guests that will be appearing on Kurious Jorge‘s forthcoming album, II.
Longtime heads will no doubt be thinking “wait, THE Kurious Jorge?” The one and only, who released the infamous Constipated Monkey album back in 1994, which was promoted alongside Nas‘ Illmatic. One of those albums would become the first to get a 5 Mic rating from The Source, while the other would gain a good amount of underground support. While he may have been obscure for the last decade, fans have not forgotten and he hasn’t forgotten his fans, so it will be a chance to see what he’s capable of doing on the eve of a new decade.
