The mysterious hip hop collective known as The Black Opera flexes their muscle on their latest single, โ€œBehold The Opera,โ€ from their upcoming fourth studio album, โ€œThe Great Yearโ€ (out September 30 via Mello Music Group). Producer yU (ofDiamond District) provides a menacing backdrop driven by stiff high-hats , bass, and ominous operatic voice samples, as the two founding TBO members plunder weak emcees with bars chock-full of poignant and razor sharp rhymes. Between TBOโ€™s previous off-kilter single, โ€œNo Water,โ€ and their latest offering, the group highlights the diversity and singularity of โ€œThe Great Year,โ€ officially declaring their โ€œshift to a new era.โ€

The album will serve as the follow-up to โ€˜Libretto,โ€™ the third and final installment of the three-part epic, โ€œThe Black Op:Era I!โ€
