And here's that long-promised Chocolate Industries Diverse/Vast-Aire contest:
DIVERSE “ONE A.M.”
After blazing tracks with the likes of Mos Def, Prefuse-73, RJD2 & countless others on critically acclaimed records like the Urban Renewal Program compilation, Prefuse-73’s One Word Extinguisher, as well as his own “Move” EP and the “Certified” 12", Chicago MC Diverse drops his album One A.M which walks the line of black psyche rock, hip-hop and tru school B-boying.
The album features Jeff Parker (Tortoise) as well as production by long-time collaborators RJD2 (who produced half the album) and Prefuse-73, as well as legendary hip-hop beat scientist Madlib. Joining Diverse on the MC tip on One A.M. is Lyrics Born (Latyrx), Jean Grae, Vast Aire (Cannibal Ox), and a rare vocal cameo by Prefuse-73 (doing back up vocals).
VAST AIRE “LOOK MOM….NO HANDS”
Vast Aire is the titan MC who shocked the world and conquered critics as the leader of Definitive Jux’s landmark upstart crew Cannibal Ox. Their essential El-P engineered 2002 LP Cold Vein was a chart-topper in every smart music critic’s year-end poll. In 2004, Vast is stepping out of his role as chief Ox man to unleash on of the year’s strongest albums with his debut solo effort Look Mom...No Hands featuring a wide range of guest mc’s from MF Doom & Aesop Rock to hip hop veteran Sadat X (Brand Nubian) and production by Madlib and other underground legends-in-the-making like RJD2, Ayatollah, CamuTao and already-certified legends Da Beatminerz.
I'm keeping the contest real basic this time: all you have to do is email me (subject line: "CI contest") and I will pick a winner at random to receive copies of both albums on CD. Contest will end 11:59:59 EST on Sunday August 1.
Look Mom...No Hands and One A.M. are both in stores now. Click on the official Diverse and Vast Aire websites for more information.
