Called it

You was spot on, bro. Hopefully it's a long ban. That cat was the biggest attention seeking troll on the site, and that's saying ALOT. I usd to have a face anytime I saw anyone actually taking this guy for as anything other than a troll.

12 more reasons to die

The only thing I wasn't too fussed about on 12RTD were those kinda high pitched female vocals/hooks.

He got banned for shytting on Chinx Drugs, in his RIP thread, hours after he died.
I'm pretty sure @Brooklynzson pulled the plug

And yea, it's pretty much seems official that this is dropping in July.

 

[SoulController]

singles dope, i expect to dig about 50-60% of it like the last one. Adrian is inconsistent, but his bangers are very high level

 

[IronFist]

feeling this made an additional thread for those who may be sleeping on this

Damn, for real? Loved those high vocals...

They're dramatic and add to the whole album but I find them a little OTT sometimes.

ADRIAN YOUNGE ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF THE HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED “TWELVE REASONS TO DIE II” ALBUM, STARRING GHOSTFACE KILLAH Featuring RAEKWON, RZA, BILAL, VINCE STAPLES and more!

Fans who have been waiting for the past two years can finally rejoice: Adrian Younge’s and Ghostface Killah’s Twelve Reasons To Die II is coming soon.

To up the ante this time around, Ghostface has added a very important lyrical companion to the mix: Raekwon. The chemistry that was cemented two decades ago on Rae’s classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is as strong as ever, clearly heard on five out of the album’s 13 songs. And on the topic of chemistry, executive producer and Wu-Tang patriarch The RZA returns to Part II as the story’s narrator.

Where the first installment of Twelve Reasons To Die was based in 1960s Italy – detailing the machinations of the feared DeLuca crime family – Part II inhabits the grimy streets of mid-1970s New York City. Descendants of the DeLucas are running the city, but a powerful, younger crime syndicate is percolating, commanded by black gangster Lester Kane (personified by Raekwon).

As Kane’s power grows, he takes on the DeLucas and a bloodbath ensues. Kane has always known the legend of Tony Starks, who was killed by the DeLucas in Italy and whose remains were partially used to create twelve vinyl records. When played back in the “old world,” the Ghostface Killer rose and destroyed the Italian faction. This plays into the story’s conclusion at the end of Part II.

The storyline for Part II is vividly brought to life with the help of Younge’s never-endingly evocative and unique brand of cinematic, psychedelic soul. The music – on which Younge himself plays upwards of 10 instruments on certain songs – was recorded strictly on analog tape, to bring out the true grit of the ‘70s era that provides the Twelve Reasons backdrop.

Twelve Reasons To Die II is another heavy feather in the caps of all involved, especially Younge and Ghost, who again poured their skills and intellect into this dramatic and engaging tale. It all fits perfectly into the Wu-Tang family tree as well as Younge’s always-expanding musical universe, which now proudly relies on Linear Labs to house it.

Release Date: July 10, 2015

All praises due to the most high for getting Adrian Younger and Ghost together again, and as much as Rae posses me off with his RZA hate he is the ingredient that was missing from the first one. Track is straight fire

We've heard the previous 3 shytty albums (if we're being generous - we can go back further). So experience tells us we're in for more generic trash. Honestly, what was the last listenable Ghostface album? Fishscale? Wizard of Poetry?

Dude is turning into Nas-level irritation for me. It sucks to see your top 3 all-time rapper release shytty project after shytty project.

ghost never dropped a bad album
