The Portland native dropped a few videos leading up to this release that I somehow missed (check them here), but that doesn’t mean I can’t be on time with Gunwings haha. A complete revision of 2010′s Barrels For Feathers, Sapient puts a new life into each song. New beats, hooks and melodies are sung differently, new verses, new features and more.

Nearly 13-years after first collaborating on the title track to 7L & Esoteric’s Speaking Real Words, the three are joining forces as CZARFACE.
“The industry doesn’t need another well packaged, put together ‘act,’ instead fans are once again gravitating to the seasoned vets and newcomers that are still true to the game. We are CZARFACE because they know our faces and they know us for being dope rhyme suppliers, like Tony Montana we are known for our balls and our word; lyrically we will conquer the world and everything in it” states Deck. Esoteric explains further, “CZARFACE is a vigilante, anti-hero character who serves as the face of the project, and his focus is on annihilating the media darlings that the mainstream caters to.”
While the project doesn’t have an exact release date, you can expect guest appearances and production from Action Bronson, Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire, Roc Marciano, DJ Premier and Largo Pro.

With a love for both hip hop and comics, Murs is bringing both together on Yumiko: Curse Of The Merch Girl.
The album and novel unite to tell the story of Yumi Morales, a girl living the fabled tour life working the merchandise table for her boyfriend Dominick’s band Murder Acts. The 124-page graphic novel is illustrated by Jose Garcia, written by Josh Blaylock and the ten-song album – whose lyrics are printed in their entirety throughout the novel – is produced entirely by DJ Foundation. Yumiko is available only via the project’s Kickstarter page, where a range of different pledge options will get you everything from the novel and CD to exclusive apparel, custom download cards illustrated by David Mack and Jim Mahfood, and a personal thank-you note and Twitter follow from Murs. Followed by the release of the album and book, an animated music video will officially be unveiled at Murs’ party during the Comic-Con convention in San Diego. “Yumiko is hip hop and comics done correctly,” says Murs of the project. “Comics have always been a huge inspiration to me. And having the chance to publish my own comic is truly an honor. Working with my partners to create this book was a lot of fun and we are looking forward to making our dream a reality with the help of the fans.”
For more information and to help support the project, head on over to Murs’ Kickstarter page.
