It’s been a minute, but your favorite oddball-psychadelic-hip-hop-nerd-MC-producer-DJ extraordinaire returns!
Edan was given full access to Traffic Entertainment’s back catalogue, meaning he had a treasure chest of old-school vinyl to pick from. What was gonna be a simple mixtape turned into Echo Party— a 30 minute opus replete with studio tricks, turntablism, tape echo, moog, guitar, and even kazoo. Featuring old-school rap, punk and dance, Echo Party is dense, wierd, and most of all, REALLY ORIGINAL and REALLY FUN!
This comes out next week on CD and LP. The CD comes with a book detailing every miniscule technique used; The vinyl (limited 1000 press) boasts Edan hand-drawing each cover. This comes out next week, pre-order it now. They’re almost gone!

Jack Splash doesn’t bother with the confines of genres. By working with everyone in the biz (he’s in the lab with Alicia Keys and Jamie Foxx at the moment) he’s added his take on R&B, hip-hop, rock, pop and just about anything the in-demand singer/songwriter wants.
Even with the dense schedule, Splash squeezed some signature funk onto Heir To The Throne Vol. 1, a new mixtape courtesy of DJ Skee and The Smoking Section. Enjoy!

Next week, Message To The Other Side- Osirus Part 1, will mark the return of ODB via 21 tracks produced by Wu-stalwarts and affiliates. The project (presumably the first of a few) also comes with a 20-minute DVD.
For now, here’s a somewhat ironic first track that just leaked: “Say No”, where ODB is telling kids to stay away from drugs. Wu IS kid friendly!
Listen to “Say No” by ODB off Message To The Other Side- Osirus Part 1, in stores November 17th.
