Double vinyl LP pressing. With no advance warning, acclaimed Brooklyn rapper Your Old Droog recently released the surprise album It Wasn't Even Close. Executive produced by Mach-Hommy, the album features appearances from the likes of DOOM, Roc Marciano, Wiki, and Mach-Hommy himself, plus beats by Sadhu Gold, Evidence, Daringer, V Don, Tha God Fahim, Mono en Stereo, and more. Named after a line from a classic Geto Boys song, the project was sparked by a pivotal conversation between Droog and hip-hop icon Scarface, who told the young artist he would single handedly bring New York back.

Stories, the first in the series and Masayoshis debut under his own name, will be re-issued by Erased Tapes on July 27th.Stories saw Masayoshi bring this relatively new invention in the history of instruments often kept in the background in orchestras and jazz outfits into the spotlight. Having trained as a drummer, Masayoshi experimented with the vibraphone using the cello bow to play it, such as in Fog, or the other end of the mallet like on Book of Life the title track of his new album. Focusing on the vibraphone in this way sets Masayoshi apart, dedicating his artistic life to celebrating this fascinating and often under appreciated instrument and making his take on ambient and modern compositional styles a unique one.1.
