Craig G & Marley Marl release their new album, Operation Take Back Hip-Hop, today (so does Tanya Morgan!). I’ve said it before but it’s always dope to hear and see legends in the game putting out albums (that are good). Not those oldheads that need to retire and sit on the porch and talk about how it used to be. The ones who still have talent and can be relevant. Yep!
June 17th marks the release date for Craig G & Marley Marl’s collaboration album, Operation Take Back Hip-Hop. Something I can’t wait to cop personally. What are ya’ll thoughts on it? I’ll tell you what, how about I drop three tracks that will be on the album and you can tell me what you think after listening. Talib Kweli, KRS-One & Cormega all make guest appearances. Let’s go!
Man I love how artists like this can still pump out dope records years upon years upon years after they came out. Check for this on Craig G & Marley Marl’s upcoming album Operation Take Back Hip-Hop. Dropping June 17th.
