Having laid the groundwork with their release of three critically acclaimed and commercially well-received 12″‘s throughout the past two years, deeply rooted affiliates of J. Dilla, Lawless Element, are preparing to drop their debut album, Soundvision: In Stereo, via Raw Material/Babygrande Records on September 20th.
Featuring a wealth of collaborations including J. Dilla, Diverse, Phat Kat, among others, and production by J. Dilla, Madlib and Lawless Element‘s own producer Magnif, Soundvision: In Stereo is said to “reflect the convergence of jazzy Tribe Called Quest-ish flavor with a soulfully edgy street sensibility.”
Having garnered a wealth of critical accolades, including 4 out of 5 stars from URB Magazine, Magnif is already being inundated with requests for his production services.
Lawless Element will be premiering their video for the album’s first single, entitled “Rules Pt. 2” (helmed by “Purple City Byrdgang” director Carl Verna) within the coming weeks. Also look for Lawless as the Featured Artist on OkayPlayer.com at the end of August.
