The best group in Hip Hop return with their 6th (!!!) studio album on 10.6.17. CunninLynguists‘s Rose Azura Njano LP follows a main character named Rose, who’s afflicted with chromesthesia (a.k.a. synesthesia) and personifies “Black music in America and its history in pain, loss, hardships and socio-political movements.” If you’ve been following the series of connected EP’s that have been released this year, this album is the full culmination of the concept, complete with all of the bells and whistles, soulful lyricism and ridiculously lush production you’ve come to expect from a CL release.
TRACKLISTING:
1. “Red White & Blues” Feat. Jason Coffey
2. “Riot!”
3. “Red Bird”
4. “Violet (The Upper Room)”
5. “Gone” Feat. Trizz
6. “Any way the Wind Blows”
7. “Mr. Morganfield & Ms. Waters (A-Side)”
8. “Jimi & Andre (B-Side)”
9. “Hustler”
10. “Oh Honey” Feat. Farah Elle
11. “No Universe Without Harmony”
12. “Earth to Venus (Tiny Orange Star)”
And of course, new music, means a new tour as they kick things off in Europe with their HEARING COLORS TOUR to support the new album – [SEE DATES & GET TICKETS HERE]

UPDATE: Aaaarrrggghh!!! Getting ready to send this bad boy to manufacturing and then it’s the post office nightmare to get this out to you.
This has been a F*CK TON of work. Like… I can’t even put it into words what an undertaking it’s been. Sorry, I’ve been awol, but apparently making an entire documentary by yourself takes an additional year haha. Top it off with a plethora of obstacles, injuries, learning new software, a fried PC and life BS and I’m relieved to have gotten this far.
THANK YOU to everyone who’s been so patient and supportive of the Polymer project from DAY 1! You made this entire thing possible – and I am SO proud of this. I CAN NOT WAIT for you to see it. It really changes the album experience (as planned). I also can’t wait to move on to my next project(s) and see the sunshine again haha
Love y’all and thanks again for all your support, – Tone
PS. (This is tentative running time, but suuuuper close).

Peace to hiphop heads, QN5 Blueschoolers and FManiacs alike. As many of you may know I have taken a brief break from my musical hiatus to celebrate a milestone 40th birthday. In doing so, not only am I throwing a celebratory concert in NYC, but I have also returned to the recording booth for the first time in years (yes literal, multiple years). I’d like to present, for your listening and viewing pleasure, “Legendary” prod. U.G. (Cella Dwellas).
This track is a result of me just wanting to rhyme. Period. I don’t care about “views” or “likes” or blog posts, because none of those things have anything to do with how we as MC’s put words together. To me that is what makes what we do art.
However, if you do feel compelled to like, comment or share, that’s all good with me!
Enjoy! – Pack
Also if you like the song, be sure to come out to my 40th Birthday Concert and sing along!

Fjer is on a roll – with her last two singles (“Better” & Her Turn”) featured on The Line of Best Fit, The 405, 2DopeBoyz, Spotify and H&M‘s editorial playlists, she returns with her heaviest single yet. According to the Danish singer/producer, “Wrong Time” was “Born out of that feeling of being in the wrong spot with the wrong person at the wrong time. It came out much angrier, raw and honest than most of my songs.”
Taken from her forthcoming debut LP on QUINTIC, Fjer layers “Wrong Time” with bass-heavy breakbeats, a fresh assortment of sultry synths and warped feedback that explodes into a volcano of sound, sending the self-produced banger into the stratosphere.
Fjer has steadily been increasing her profile with every single release and “Wrong Time” should only bolster her growing reputation as one of the hottest new songwriters on the come up. Please share, comment and enjoy!
