Oakland, California veteran Hip Hop band The Coup will release their six album next month. Sorry To Bother You will release on October 30, via Anti Records. Boots Riley, Pam The Funkstress and the rest of the expanded Coup roster have enlisted Killer Mike, Das Racist and Vernon Reid of Living Colour fame for their upcoming effort.
Boots Riley continues to be deeply involved with the Occupy movement, especially in his hometown of Oakland. In recent years, Riley has toured extensively with New Orleans Funk band Galactic as well as worked with Tom Morello, of Rage Against The Machine, in Street Sweeper Social Club.
In 2006, The Coup released Pick A Bigger Weapon, which featured Black Thought, Talib Kweli and Sylk-E Fyne.

Hey, I’m new at this but give some feedback please http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuVm0lVQ3Dc
1. Write interesting lyrics – I almost felt asleep.
2. Don’t bite Tech N9ne.
3. Learn how to rap. It sounds forced and awkward,
4. Don’t use that retarded voice effect.
Nice The Coup is still making music. Very good to hear them especially during these tumultuous times!
exactly, a time-appropriate album if ever there was one….
Irrelevant communists
Who?
Where’s Double XX Posse? Ill Al Scratch? They need a comeback more than The Coup.
Wrong! Double XX Posse and Ill Al Scractch had a song here, a song there, but that was it.

Love The Coup, hope the new album is good but have to say I don’t like the magic clap.

I’m making $86 an hour working from home. I was shocked when my neighbour told me she was averaging $95 but I see how it works now. I feel so much freedom now that I’m my own boss. This is what I do, =B=l=u=e=3=1=.=c=o=m=
