Today (December 8th) my new group album with Chum entitled “Flavor Ade” featuring Slug of Atmosphere, eLZHi of Slum Village, and Has-Lo drops and I’m excited! We have two release parties this weekend. One in Philly on Friday the 11th and one in New London, CT on Saturday the 12th. The flyers are at the end of this. I hope you guys can make it out.

For me it’s the time for reinvention, the time for progress…shit, it’s the time for some good music!

IT’s pretty ironic how Mike and the Fatman became Cool-Aide (and iCON the Mic King became MiC K!NG and Chum the Skrilla Guerilla became Chum). It was the beginning of 2008 and Chum and I had decided we’d make a sequel to “Mike and the Fatman.” The plan was to make it really dark but also really polished. Dark cinematic music has been my sound for years so of course I was down to make more of the same however I’d been working on a lot of the Robots with Hearts stuff with musical genius Animals on Wheels and I’d been experimenting with a lot of different things like singing (badly), rapping melodies, etc. I played him some joints particularly “Downward Spiral” (available on iTunes via Tape Records) and I believe that same day Chum gave me the beat for “Kind of a Woman.”
