Two years after releasing their last album Le System D (2009), and just over a decade since releasing their underground break-out album World Premier (2000), the Unknown Prophets are poised to release their next album, WP2. The album finds the Twin Cities hip hop crew concocting beats and rhymes reminiscent of their work on World Premier. Classical chop and paste laden beats ride behind the groups confident and relatable rhymes. 

"Knockin' Out Impostors" is the first leak off WP2 and features California powerhouse rapper Planet Asia. Big Jess crafts another banger filled with crying cellos giving it an almost far East feel. The unorthodox song structure and bravado-type rhymes give it more of a mixtape feel. The Prophets' first single off of WP2 will be released this Fall.
