Rhymefest’s El Che Pushed Back Until June 8th
Not a huge surprise here. I figured May 18th was a bit early yet on the promotional side. Fest’s sophomore set has been pushed back until June 8th. I mean, after years of waiting, what’s a few more weeks? I’m not even sure what the official first single is or if we’re getting another video prior to the release., but hopefully we’ll see something soon.
Distributed by EMI, the full length LP features production from beatsmiths Scram Jones, S1, BKS, and Terry Hunter. The 16 track opus also boasts guest appearances from Little Brother, Saigon, Glen Lewis, and fellow Chicago emcee Twone Gabz.
Since going independent, the final delay of El Che is a testament to the efficacy of the project’s promotional efforts. Though El Che has been plagued with delays in the past, (due to former label woes), Rhymefest and new indie label dN|Be Entertainment vow there will be no further postponements. In reference to June 8th being the final release date for his sophomore effort, Rhymefest disclosed, “Of course I was weary when the distribution company sprung a new release date on me. But to guarantee that all of the fans that have been patiently waiting forEl Che to drop get to purchase this album, I have to let EMI do its thing with the shipments.”
Damn
Looks like a few days early B-Day gift for myself! Glad he waited a couple weeks to go with EMI to because they are best bet right now if you want to stay independent but still have the options & promo that a major does!
who cares
Detox will be out before he puts this shit out. Rhymefest missed his fucking boat. I hope he’s learned how to dress himself now.
