ROCKSUCKER: Interview: Gift of Gab (Blackalicious)

That a fourth Blackalicious LP is on the way would in any sane universe be cause for widespread celebration, and Rocksucker was overjoyed at Gab confirming - over the telephone, in a laid back drawl barely reconcilable with the lyrical whirlwind so endlessly listenable to our ears - a number of other exciting projects on the horizon for himself and his Quannum colleagues/team mates/soul mates. First, though, check out this choice cut from Next Logical Progression...

What can you tell us at this stage about the direction the next Blackalicious record is taking?

The new Blackalicious EP is just about finished: it's called The Sun Giver EP and it'll be out towards the end of the year, probably November, and we'll follow that with an album in 2013. I think it really represents the good thing about doing other projects - we get to do Blackalicious then I made some solo records and X has been doing production for other groups - and when we get back together there's more of a growth, more of a hunger, because Blackalicious is our main thing. I don't know how I would describe the sound [of The Sun Giver EP] but it's definitely a step forward. I'm very proud of how it's coming out.

Can't wait. Love me some Blackalicious. Gab is so dope, but I thought his last solo was so-so. Not as good as Escape to Mars, and definitely not as good as ...Rocketships....
