Mr. Lif Releases New Album One Song at a Time

Mr. Lif has returned from the shadows to drop science. Political science, that is. In light of the upcoming U.S. presidential election, Lif is using his new album, I Heard It Today, "to create awareness on current political issues and agendas for Americans and the global community," according to a press release.

To allow himself the flexibility to address issues as they present themselves, Mr. Lif has a non-traditional plan for the release of I Heard It Today, which is the follow-up to 2006's Mo' Mega. Starting with the release of "I Heard It Today" on September 9, Lif will write, record, produce, and digitally release one or two new songs every three weeks (September 23 and October 14) until Election Day (November 4). Afterward, he'll release one more single reacting to the election.

Lif will then compile these singles, along with additional unreleased tracks, for the full album, which will be released via his new label, Bloodbot Tactical Enterprises, on Inauguration Day (January 20). Production on various tracks will come from Edan, J Zone, Illmind, and others.

Here's the artwork for the "I Heard It Today" single:

Well...I hope everybody has enjoyed the holidays thus far. I've got a few things to bring you up to speed on.

1. Back by popular demand, the song titled "Shut Up!" (feat. Murs, Vitamin D., and myself) is on my jukebox.

2. I posted a video a Capella of a new verse on my kyte box. The verse is from a song called "What About Us?" which was written as a response to the initial bailout plans.

3. The new release date for the "I Heard It Today" album is April 14th. There will be more songs released between now and then to tide you over so stay tuned.

Happy New Year!!

Mr. Lif: I heard it today Album
Der Mann mit der wohl eigenwilligsten Haarkreation der Rapper-Gemeinde, Mr. Lif ist zurück. Nach seinem letztes Jahr veröffentlichten Sleepyheads Teil 3 Album wird ab dem 21.04.2009 vollständig neues Material des Bostoners und The Perceptionists Mitglied käuflich zu erwerben sein. "I heard it today" wird allerdings nicht mehr über Def Jux sondern über sein eigenes und neu gegründetes Label "Blood Tactical Enterprises" veröffentlicht. Die etwas überraschende Gästeliste featuret u.a. JMT-Frontmann Vinnie Paz und die schon fast als verschollen geltende Bahamadia. An den Reglern haben Headnodic, Willie Evans Jr., J-Zone, Batsauce, Edan und Therapy dem Ex-Def-Jukie das passende musikalische Gewand auf den Laib geschneidert...
