    Would be dope to finally have a group album from these guys. As usual, not getting my hopes up though.

    Jet Set, just in case you might not have checked those out, the Black Knights albums w/ John Frusciante production are worth a listen. The first two got a label release (on Frusciante's personal label), the third one was self released by Black Knights. IIRC the tracks for all three albums were recorded in one (extended) period of sessions. this is probably why there's a bit of a law of diminishing returns at work in the quality of the output. the first album was very good (they selected the best cuts), the second and the third one just okay

    Northstar have released albums, EPs and singles too. Christ Bearer had some solo albums as well. Meko did not put out any solo work.

    Then of course you are familiar with Holo's output, including his work with Large Pro and with American Poets 2099. those collabo albums could and probably can still be purchased on the Pro/Poets homepage

    I read about that collabo. When I read that, I remember think like how did they fix that? And why isn't this bigger? Never really checked those albums out.

    ^^thank you!

    a RZA beat, a lot of Skarekrow beats (he's got some great beat, I dig his stuff) and wucorp's own 444Trumpets

    a lot of these are, I assume, from different sources so I hope they get the mastering right on this release. that would make the album sound more cohesive. good mastering isn't always in the budget so we'll see

    Diary of a Madman Part 2 and no Gravediggaz members on it (except for RZA who made the beat). Why do they keep adding the "part X" label to tracks. We know it ain't gonna be as good as the original one.

    That covers horrible but besides that I’ll be checking for this when it drops.
