Onetime Sunz of Man and Gravediggaz member Shabazz The Disciple announced today that he will release Hood Hopera (Theatrica Biblica) on November 25, 2011. The veteran Brooklyn, New York emcee and Wu-Tang Clan affiliate will release the work through Chambermusik/Fat Beats Records.

A label press release said, “The album is conceived as a  ghetto opera, with various scenes and characters, as their story is revealed. All of this album is  either very rare or previously unreleased, so get ready for what is virtually a brand new Shabazz album, as compiled by Bazz himself especially for Chambermusik.”

The work features Freestyle (of The Arsonists) and Snow Goons.
