36 Seasons
On his new release, ’36 Seasons,’ hip hop master Ghostface Killah’s powers have never been more in-focus, as he takes his listeners on a gut-wrenching journey of double-cross and revenge through the rough and rugged housing projects of New York’s Staten Island.
On ’36 Seasons’ Ghostface Killah once again delivers exactly what the hardcore Wu-fans crave: desperate tales from the dark side over soulful boom-bap tracks. The soundscape is provided The Revelations – Brooklyn’s acclaimed soul band/production team – their hard-hitting tracks match the intensity of Ghost’s violent narrative. His 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. To visually flesh out the album’s dark and twisted world, the CD’s packaging includes 20 pages of striking images from a host of stellar comic artists, curated by the team that created Ghostface’s 2013 six-issue comic mini-series, 12 Reasons To Die.
