The critics are already heaping praise on advance listenings of his new album,
Fishscale. The internet is buzzing with an exclusive mp3-only mixtape with Green
Lantern. "Back Like That," his soulful new single featuring the #1 artist in the
country, Ne-Yo, is gathering heat from radio and the video is banging on MTV and
BET. Just off a short, highly-successful run with his comrades the Wu-Tang Clan,
he launches a major national headlining tour this week. And even with the engine
humming and the race about to begin, Ghostface Killah is still under the hood,
making adjustments.
On the eve of his departure for tour and with mastering deadlines looming, Ghost
has just emerged from the studio again, completing a last minute addition to
Fishscale that may in fact prove to be the album's second single. Entitled
"Momma" and featuring Def Jam Recording's latest signing - Brooklyn's own Megan
Rochell - the song finds Ghost doing what he does best: bringing to life vivid
tales of struggle over a soulful, sample-heavy track. With the final
tracklisting now firmed up, Fishscale is set to hit stores on March 28.
And on Saturday, March 18, Ghost will jump off of his scheduled tour routing to
play a very special show at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas. Headlining The
Fader/Levi's Trading Post party, Ghost will be joined by the likes of Lupe
Fiasco and his new labelmate Lady Sovereign. Ghostface appears on the cover of
The Fader #37, hitting stands just days before the SXSW event. An excerpt from
the cover story:
"Ghost has proved himself to be a gifted comedian who doesn't just nail
punchlines to prove that he's a clever wordsmith. Instead he's become an absurd
situationist... Yet what most differentiates Ghost from not just his Wu
compatriots, but from other rappers in general, is an honesty that can manifest
itself as intense vulnerability... A complex figure has emerged."
Never one to keep the hometown crowd thirsty for long, Ghost has added a New
York City date to the end of the Fishscale Tour. Fittingly, the tour will now
wrap at NYC's new venue, Nokia Theatre, on April 22. Stay tuned for more on
hip-hop's "Ironman," Ghostface Killah...
