After A 4-Year Hiatus Army Of The Pharaohs Returns With New LP “In Death Reborn”

Initiated in 1998 by Jedi Mind Tricks front-man Vinnie Paz as homage to the incredible rap crews of the 80’s and early 90’s, the Army of the Pharaohs has, from its outset, been an ever-evolving collective of celebrated emcees from the indie hip-hop scene.  Founding members Vinnie Paz and Esoteric were featured on the crew’s original 12-inch single, “Five Perfect Exertions,” in 1998 and remain with the crew today.  With the release of their debut studio album, The Torture Papers in 2006, the Pharaoh clique expanded to include accomplished solo emcees Apathy, Celph Titled, King Syze, Reef the Lost Cauze, and the Philly hip-hop duo and frequent Jedi Mind Tricks collaborators Outerspace. 
 
In its nearly two decades, AOTP has released three studio albums alongside countless solo albums and side projects from its lineup of emcees that have been some of the most critically-acclaimed and best-selling indie hip hop records of the past 20-years.  With the release of their newest effort, In Death Reborn, the Army returns after a four-year hiatus to release its fourth group album featuring the lead single/video for “God Particle” featuring Vinnie Paz, Planetary, Esoteric, Apathy & Celph Titled and produced by Stu Bangas.  The album also features appearances by Blacastan, Zilla, Block McCloud, Demoz, Doap Nixon & King Magnetic.

While the 90's may have been a pinnacle time for producers in terms of innovation, experienced heads can tell who's in the game to make a quick buck and who's crafting songs to help diversify the genre's existence. If you fall under the latter -- that is to say, you enjoy sharp lyrics and beats that'll force you to spit your best 16, then Long Island's very own Diabolic will be right for you with his DJ Premier produced single, "Diabolical Sound," taken from his forthcoming LP, 'Fightin Words.' As the legendary Premo builds upon his signature style to create a sinister anthem akin to what brought him to the forefront of the game during the genre's Golden Era, Diabolic delivers bar after bar of creative genius that runs circles around your typical radio rapper's cookie cutter rhyme scheme. "Diabolical Sound" is the first lead track taken from Diabolic's 'Fightin Words' LP, which is set to drop on September 16th. The album includes features from Sean Price, Vinnie Paz, Celph Titled,  RA the Rugged Man, and more.. stay tuned for more heat from Diabolic!

Diabolic - Diabolical Sound (prod. by DJ Premier)

• HNHH Exclusive Q&A/Interview: http://bit.ly/Zo6tsG

As rap takes new forms with its various players and influencers, it's important to pay dues to those who've paved the way. While some will disregard this rule in favor of ignorant ideals, those who make it aware that they stand on the shoulders of giants will more often than not last longer than the one hit wonders and trend followers. If you rep the East Coast and can relate to the hustle and struggle of cats like Diabolic, then allow Fightin Words to be the soundtrack to get you to where you're headed. Part razor sharp rhymes and part sinister sounding beats, this album will speak volumes to underground heads both old and new, as Diabolic speaks his story, even if the Long Island emcee has to make some enemies in the process.   

Released through his own War Horse Records label, 'Fightin Words' is Diabolic's attempt to claim the throne. With a history of battle rapping against underground favorites such as Immortal Technique and Rhymefest, Diabolic concocts a lethal dose of Hip-Hop on an LP that finds the LI native joined by Sean Price, R.A. The Rugged Man, Vinnie Paz, Apathy, Celph Titled, Locksmith, Nino Bless, Coast, amongst others, with production credits from the likes of DJ Premier, The Snowgoons, Brooklyn's 5th Seal, and more. Fans of Wu Tang Clan's Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) will appreciate the well-placed opening samples which are akin to The RZA's method of production. 'Fightin Words' is now available through iTunes via digital download, or through Fat Beats, on either CD or 2xLP.

Slaine is no stranger to success. The Boston-native has had movie roles alongside A-list stars such as Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta, Harvey Keitel and most recently Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart. He’s made records with Hip Hop legends DJ Premier, Cypress Hill, Action Bronson, Snoop Dogg, Statik Selektah, Raekwon & U-God of Wu-Tang and was a founding member of the super-group La Coka Nostra with Everlast, DJ Lethal, Danny Boy of House of Pain, and Ill Bill of Non-Phixion. Slaine has landed four albums in the top 20 on Billboard’s hip hop chart since 2009 both as a solo artist and with La Coka Nostra and has appeared in nine films in the same time span.  He's achieved heights that most only dream of, not only in Hip Hop but also in Hollywood.
 
As an emcee, Slaine is known for his ability to tell dark stories and take listeners into a world of drugs, violence, love, loss, pain, dreams and nightmares. He has drawn from that same well to bring authenticity to some of best crime dramas of this generation. Slaine fast became a blue-collar hometown hero and was stepping off movie sets, tearing down sold out live shows, and working in studios until the sun came up. But part of what made his storytelling and performances so realistic was that they were inspired by his own reality and created from the center of a drug epidemic that he was fast becoming a casualty of. As his success grew, the same things that served him so well creatively were destroying his personal life and quite literally killing him. Financial ruin, emergency room visits and public blow-ups began to overshadow the talents that had given him such a promising career and the walls were closing in all around him. On March 2nd, 2014, at the end of an ugly bender, Slaine decided that enough was enough and on the 3rd day of March he started his journey in sobriety. He has not had a drink or a drug since.
 
His personal life slowly, but surely, started to regain traction when he stopped drinking and using drugs, but there were still doubts as to whether or not a return to form creatively would follow. And though he did release The King of Everything Else at a time when he was already six months sober, the album was a drug-fueled rampage which was already recorded during the end of his using. Early sobriety studio sessions with producer The Arcitype would end abruptly, as discomfort set in and writer’s block was an issue for Slaine for the first time in his career. The following two-years would be a daily exercise in regaining confidence and finding his way back through a livelihood that was littered with trap doors and vivid memories of the habits that led to his demise. The result of his daily practices rendered a series of projects, the first of which comes early this fall.
 
On September 23rd Slaine returns with a brand new, eight track EP, Slaine is Dead.  It focuses not on his success, but more so walking out of his darkest hours and confronting his failures. In a career marked by dark lyricism and introspection this project is both, but also finds Slaine exploring hope, faith and courage. He never abandons his roots, but gives us a new perspective on old themes. He vividly depicts the life of a drug dealer on "Pusher", shares his drive since childhood to make his mark on "Legendary" and ultimately finds salvation on "Coming Home".  He calls on long time friends and collaborators, Vinnie Paz, Ill Bill, Statik Selektah, Termanology, Demrick DJ Eclipse and Rite Hook for support on the record, and adds an unlikely collaboration with vocalist, Jared Evan. With the help of fellow executive producer and beat-smith, The Arcitype, who handled the bulk of the production, Slaine Is Dead has achieved a sound that is gritty, polished, and moving; and Despite the EP’s title, this project marks a true and definitive rebirth for Slaine.

Discovered in 2002, Grand Finale made his mark by producing the original version of "Save The Day" for Apathy's "Eastern Philosophy" LP. The track was cut from the album and later remixed by J.J. Brown for Apathy & Celph Titled's No Place Like Chrome EP. Shortly after, he produced "Malboja" for C-Rayz Walz of MTV's MADE fame, but both songs remain vaulted to this day.

 Grand Finale reunited with The Demigodz in 2008 to lend his production talents to a collaborative effort that resulted in the murky, bass driven, N.W.A. inspired throwback "Raiders Cap". The original version aired exclusively on DJ Muggs' Soul Assassins Radio on Sirius/XM Shade 45. That same year, Grand Finale connected with Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks. The monstrous posse cut "Godzilla" was produced and recorded in the winter of 2008, marking the return of Army Of The Pharaohs.

 Serving as the high-powered lead single for The Unholy Terror LP, "Godzilla" takes listeners back to the no holds barred, no hook style of hip hop prevalent in the early 90's. The collectives third installment was released on March 30, 2010 on Enemy Soil/Babygrande Records (NYC).
