La nouvelle a été officialisé par Erick Sermon, Keith Murray et Canibus sont en train de réaliser un album en commun qui sera produit principalement par Sermon et Bronze Nazareth
Only for the fans of lyrics — Keith Murray and Canibus are recording an independent rap album together, with Erick Sermon supplying the beats.
“What happened was, I think Keith Murray and Canibus were doing shows [and came up with the idea],” Sermon explained. “They’ve been doing shows for the last six months back and forth. I guess somebody stepped to them about putting something together. They called me to do the album. I think they’re two songs deep so far, but it’s kinda ill to hear them. Keith Murray is out-there, lyrically, and now Canibus is a step way further out-there than he is. It’s a dope mixture.”
Sermon promised that there will be no commercialism on the album — the duo aren’t going for airplay, they just want to capture the underground audience.
“It’s only for heads,” E said. “I don’t think there’s gonna be one radio record on there, just rhymes and concepts.”
Expect the concepts to get really weird — Canibus has made records where he raps from the perspective of the AIDS virus, while Murr can go interplanetary like he did on “Escape From the World.” Sermon says the two are definitely going for the jugular.
“The whole thing that made EPMD dope, that’s what made Redman and Method Man dope — you kinda battle each other in between. You get busy. We do a track together and I’m like, ‘Damn, he said something!’ You go right. … If Canibus says something, Murray gonna try to [say something better]. But it’s friendly so far. What I’ve experienced so far has been really, really crazy.”
