This isn’t the exact way I wanted to introduced Fred to the dopehouse, but it will have to do. Only because it’s over the D.O.A. instrumental. Fred still does his thing. Shouts to Sha on the heads up.

New video from Naledge off his latest solo effort, Chicago Picasso, which is available now (via iTunes or Amazon). The album version also features Rhymefest.

The creation of ANTICIPATION began after I presented READY to my label the first time. I just started recording on my days off and the music felt great and decided that I’d rather share the music than let it sit and be idle. This is music without politics, without creative boundaries.
