The mysterious hip hop collective known as The Black Opera flexes their muscle on their latest single, โBehold The Opera,โ from their upcoming fourth studio album, โThe 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 TBOโs previous off-kilter single, โNo Water,โ and their latest offering, the group highlights the diversity and singularity of โThe Great Year,โ officially declaring their โshift to a new era.โ
The album will serve as the follow-up to โLibretto,โ the third and final installment of the three-part epic, โThe Black Op:Era I!โ
