Back in 2008, DJ K.O.
recruited some of Hip-Hop's finest emcees and producers to craft his debut
offering. Picture This had track after track
of dream collaborations between the likes of Royce 5'9, Talib Kweli, Elzhi,
Phonte, Masta Ace, O.C., Skyzoo, Emilio Rojas and Silent Knight and delivered
exactly what the fans wanted...real hip-hop. Simple formula - raw beats,
raw rhymes. To take the record to another level, the album featured
additional production from the likes of 9th Wonder, Analogic, Ayatollah, Black
Milk, Buckwild, !LLMIND, Khrysis, M-Phazes & Marco Polo.
While EMPBeTheTeam may lack the
blockbuster names of its predecessor, it certainly does not fall short of the
level of quality established by Picture This. "Again, I tried
to approach this album as a hip-hop fan," says New Jersey native, DJ K.O. "I wanted to provide my team with
opportunities to showcase what makes them unique as artists, yet still give fans
a sound they’ll find familiar" he says.
The result is an album that offers both style and substance. Most of the songs are good,
old-fashioned hip-hop,” he explains. “There’s a raw, angry gutter sound mixed
with more smooth, soulful tracks.”
EMPBeTheTeam will be available on iTunes and fine music retailers
nationwide on September 18.
