Ethiopian-American Hip Hop group CopperWire is getting ready to take listeners on sci-fi inflicted musical journey this April. The trio – comprised of members Gabriel Teodros, Meklit Hadero and Burntface – have inked a deal with Porto Franco Records and is preparing the release of their debut LP Earthbound.
According to a recent press release, CopperWire is set to release their space-based concept album this April 17. The album finds the three members taking on different roles in their Hip Hop space opera, with Gabriel as a half-alien, half human, Burntface as a scientist and Meklit as a cosmic traveller.
“We’re going to Earth for the first time to learn about what being human means,” said Teodros of the concept album.

“I’ve always written songs as opposed to just raps for rap’s sake,” he said. “Managing the producers and rappers that I have over the years and having those A&R meetings and seeing some things work and some things fail, I’ve learned that a great song is the key to the game…now I’m coming back to what I love, why I got into the music business in the first place, to fill a huge void that I feel is out there.”
Internal Dialogue is set for an April 27 release, featuring the likes of Fashawn, Planet Asia and more. The full tracklist can be seen below.
