Here’s a look at three upcoming underground releases.
The Chapter is giving you a glimpse of what is to come with their latest album, The Prewreck. The Prewreckwizit is the first in a series of projects by the underground crew, which has gained mainstream praise and approval.
Crew member Verbal-E recently stated that this is perfect for those who haven’t gotten to hear their music as of yet.
“The Prewreck as a concept came as one part of a 3 prong or trilogy of projects we’re going to release. You have ‘The Prewreck’, ‘Advanced Studies’, and ‘Extra Credit’. The Prewreck is just that… A collection of music that will get the listener up to speed on who we are as a group and what we’re capable of creatively.”
The crew’s own drummer and producer 3sixty also sent out a statement of what he feels is a must have album.
“This is a must in your music library for the people that have come to feel our vibe. The overall theme is obviously based in higher education, both socially and musically and The Prewreck is the required listening before you get to ‘Advanced Studies’,” he said.
The Prewreck has many guests including the likes of Darien Brockington, E-Dot and more.
Expect The Prewreck to drop June 26. The track list is as follows.
