Ghostface Killah’s ‘36 Seasons’ Revenge Concept Album Out Dec 9 On Tommy Boy
On his new release ‘36 Seasons’ (Dec 9th -- Salvation/Tommy Boy), the Ghostface Killah has been re-imagined as a hip-hop superhero for the 21st century--a Staten Island vigilante inspired by a quest for personal retribution and bent on saving his community from the grips of crooked authority and urban decay.
Ghostface once again delivers what fans of The Wu-Tang and his impressive solo catalog crave: desperate tales from the dark side over soulful boom-bap tracks. The soundscape is provided by acclaimed Brooklyn soul band/production team The Revelations. Their hard-hitting tracks match the intensity of Ghost’s violent narrative. Co-producers on the album include The 45 King, Fizzy Womack (M.O.P) Angela Johnson and newcomer Malik Abdul-Rahmaan
Ghostface’s co-stars on ‘36 Seasons’ are legendary lyricists and storytellers in their own right, 3 of the greatest of all-time: AZ, Kool G Rap and Pharoahe Monch. The album also features vocal contributions from Blue Note Records’ rising star Kandace Springs and gritty soul singers Rell and Tre Williams.
The album will be released on CD and all digital formats by pioneering NYC hip hop label, Tommy Boy. Vinyl records as well as deluxe, direct-to-fan packages including T-Shirts, posters and more will be available exclusively from GetOnDown.com. Pre-orders are available now at iTunes and GetOnDown.com for Vinyl, CDs and Deluxe Fan Bundles
To visually flesh out the album’s dark and twisted world, the CD and vinyl packaging includes a booklet with 20 pages of striking images from a host of stellar comic artists and produced by Matthew Rosenberg, the creator of Ghostface’s 2013 comic mini-series, ‘12 Reasons to Die.’
