i downloaded cherrywine but can't find the files. think they got archived somewhere without being added to itunes.

ha. no love

Wow, this is great. A Street Gospel sounds exactly like something off one of the Shabazz eps.

"Yeah You" is the evilest shit

what you wearin tonight?
shit, i'm dressin like i was at the ali-frasier fight

great line. the new album is damn good.

Yeah, I feel like ppl should be freaking out about this album more than is happening :/

official release isn't for a month and a half! and i'm not seeing any easy leaks (that's fine though, i don't mind getting this legit).

i found it on a forum, can't remember the name of it but i think the rar is called sp - bu.rar. was hosted on mediafire. i'll buy it anyway because i have the other eps and the packaging is really nice. they come with sweet patches.

i only got a few cherrywine tracks but really liked those, loved digable, i'm psyched to check this out

Yeah, totally copping this when it drops. xp

i'm pretty stoked. i think part of it is they don't have so many "discussion points" as OF or lil b

Ha, that reminds me of a conversation I had with a (mostly) former ilxor who was like "With Shabazz Palaces and Odd Future all we need is someone from the Bay for a trifecto of new, weird West Coast rap" and I was like "Duuuuuuuuude."

I preordered the vinyl. Looks like if you want to get the patch to go with the first 2, you'll need to preorder.

This album is seriously good.

yeah great album. "recollections of the wraith" is my shit.

my god the beat on "Swerve" is like the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Still loving this album btw.

need to hear this!

album is the shit

dont know why the thread title is about seattle tho - hes from NY

He had parents in both cities, he lives in Seattle now.

hope that just cos hes on sub pop people dont automatically dismiss it as 'rap for white indie kids'

He's not from NY. He's from Seattle, went to NY for college and formed DP while he was there, then came back after DP broke up.

This aspect has been making me :/ btw.

this album has made me think i ignored digables unfairly

Broken record here, but Blowout Comb is a great album.

I have to get a new copy: the one I acquired last month was murky as hell.

Lol @titchy

the nights are getting stronger and the days are getting longer
the building's getting bigger, outside is getting smaller
the lies are getting truer and the truth is getting bright
things are looking blacker but black is looking whiter

^ sounds soso much like digable planets, esp the way most of the music drops out for the last line. alternate universe "cool like that".

album is dope as fuck

Try this instead: http://www.fuckstreamingjustgocopthealbumatyrfavoriteindependentrecordstore.com

because streaming is wrong

no because you should own something this good

and the packaging for this is seriously good

i think the vinyl comes in some sort of felt sleeve!

Anyone notice that he covers the Last Poets' "Black Is" for a second time? (It was also on the first DPs album.)

preorders come with a patch designed by Ish:

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/matsononmusic/2015414528_album_of_the_year_black_up_by.html

although i guess the time for preorders has passed

free SP show at easy street queen anne (seattle) this evening, as a sort of record release non-party thing

album requires that i engage my low filter ;_;

plan to steal the patch from an unwary child

so, uh, what's the line right before the first "upwards or don't toss it at all" on free press and curl. that's my favorite musical moment, and it is just a moment. "god means come price arsenal?" probably not :\

I think it's "gun beats comprise arsenal"

see, that makes some sense

this sort of "second" career/crit revival is sort of.... unusual? especially for hip hop. Kool keith being maybe the only other example I can think of

DJ Quik is having that kind of moment

With quik its more like critics just caught up to what hed been doing all along

and Quik never won a grammy
