Rakaa Iriscience’s first music video from the upcoming Crown of Thorns was released earlier this week. “Delilah” is produced by fellow Dilated Peoples member Evidence. Check it out below.
Also this week, Decon Records has available a limited edition Crown of Thorns Deluxe Package which will include an autographed CD, t-shirt, sticker/poster pack and an immediate MP3 download of the track “Aces High” (which features Fashawn, Evidence, Defari and is produced by The Alchemist) after purchase. The release date is July 20, 2010. I ordered mine today! And last, but not least, the whole Crown of Thorns album can be listened to online at Rakaa’s Official MySpace page. The whole album is great and I especially recommend everyone check out “Ambassador Slang.” I wrote a preview of the track back in May. For more information, check out Decon Records, his Official MySpace or his Official Facebook You can also check out the HalfKorean.com interview with Rakaa “Iriscience” Taylor from earlier this year. |
