The L.A. Weekly says, “After influencing every rapper you like, Freestyle Fellowship are back.” And Spin Magazine calls the record  “A glorious comeback. 8 out of 10. ” And The Wire says, “The Promise delivers on all fronts.”

It’s hard for us to disagree with the praise, so we thought putting together a fittingly fresh visual for the record makes perfect sense.

Check out this cubist take on the Fellowship’s track “We Are” and head over to iTunes to grab a copy of The Promise today!

Freestyle Fellowship Tour Dates (http://deconrecords.com/events/)

Freestyle Fellowship made a promise years ago to never fall off. They remained true to their word with the release of their new album, The Promise. The 14-track LP takes listeners back to the first time they heard the Fellowship, but with a modern day vibe. The monstrous lyrics over the ear-drum punching beats are sure to mesmorize new listeners and draw them in. Grab a copy of the album out now on iTunes and check out “Step 2 The Side.”

The Promise Tracklisting:

Our west coast brothers, Freestyle Fellowship, step back on the scene with their latest single ‘Step 2 The Side.’ The track, produced by Exile, avoids beating around the bush, and instead sends a direct message to all those it may concern: Step 2 The Side!

You’ll be able to cop their new album ‘The Promise’ on October 18th. In the meantime, listen to the ‘Step 2 The Side’ stream below.

The Project Blowed crew is hosting a release party for members JNatural and Decon’s Longevity this month on 6/29 at The Little Temple Bar in Los Angeles.
