On August 16, Nature Sounds Records will release the studio debut from Black Market Militia and Royal Fam member Timbo King. The work, titled From Babylon To Timbuk2 will feature RZA, R.A. The Rugged Man and fellow B.M.M member Killah Priest, among others. Production on the work will come from Bronze Nazareth and M.O.P.’s Lil Fame (a/k/a Fizzy Womack), in addition to others.
With appearances dating back to the 1993 Who’s The Man soundtrack, Timbo King has worked on albums from RZA, GZA and other Wu-Tang compilations. According to a press release, King won a Grammy Award for his work with French Hip Hop group I AM.
“From Babylon to Timbuk2 offers the listener a breath of fresh air, enlightenment, self-awareness, and a sense of consciousness that seems to be lacking amongst recent rap releases,” said Timbo King in a statement. “I took my time in crafting my debut to ensure that fans received the exact quality and body of work I knew they would come to expect from experiencing Timbo King as a featured artist over the years and now taking the reigns as the ring leader.”

STaY BLeSS`n…
wish he would of put that armored truck joint with masta killa on there I know it’s old but it’s dope
WHO?
damn so many NY rappers on the backburner simmering damn turn the heat up
The work with IAM is one of my favorite tracks of all time, “La Saga.” Youtube it, it’s from the album L’Ecole du Micro D’Argent. back in the late 90’s but it is timeless.
Fizzy and Bronze!!! Bronze defo got some hot joints
About time!!!!!!!!!!!! I still play Black Market. Royal Fam….all day!!!
I dig how Lil’ Fame and RA work with the wu-affiliates a lot. This has been a long ass time coming! SUUUUUUUU
I did a double take when I saw the title of this article, I couldn’t believe it. I used to dig that joint he did on the “Who’s the man” soundrack, it’s been a long time for real. I often wonder why artists like this take forever in between albums? It just never makes sense to me no matter their explainations. I wonder what his sound is gonna be like now, I’m keeping my fingers crossed on this one.
The Wu camp is cooking up some good shit lately. I love Timbo King and Royal Fam!
He gonna kill stuff!
1 of the greatest LPs of this year. WT4E
