After sitting on his porch today — listening to NWA — the Crown City Rocker decided to pen and voice a new record just for the sake of his love for being from the West.

Check the clip above for a preview of what to expect from the Crown City Rocker’s upcoming album, The Day After Forever, which drops September 29th.

I’ve already expressed my excitement for the release of Crown City Rocker’s upcoming album, The Day After Forever (September 29th via Gold Dust). And ever since I posted the artwork x tracklist, I’ve been patiently waiting for a preview. Well that time has finally come as I got my hands on the first official leak…

Earlier today I got an email with some great news. Oakland’s Crown City Rockers are returning with a new album! Their first since the dope’ness that was Earth Tones in 2004.

CCR have built a reputation for their driving sound derived from live instruments fused with traditional hip-hop production, which makes their live shows particularly dynamic. Emcee Rashaan Ahmad commands the crowd in the tradition of the block party greats, with a tight backing group infusing funk energy into the bouncy hip-hop sound.

Though the group has remained intact, the album represents a reunion of sorts, as many of the contributors have been focusing on solo projects recently. Rashaan Ahamad’s solo album Push (2008) furthered his reputation as a party rocker par excellence, which he supported through tours with People Under The Stairs, Common Market, and others. Bassist/producer Headnodic recently helmed the boards for last year’s Mighty Underdogs project on Definitive Jux with emcees Gift of Gab and Lateef from the Quannum camp, and keyboardist Kat recently completed a solo project and is currently working with People Under The Stairs’ Thes One.

I was told I’ll have some audio soon, but until then you can check the artwork and tracklist after the jump…

Anyone checking the dopehouse on any type of consistent basis should have doubt on what coast I represent. That being said… I’ve got a nice little track for ya’ll. A remix to the latest cut from the 5 member group out of Oakland (by way of Boston). Thanks Nora!
