The Promise

The legendary West Coast Hip-Hop pioneer group Freestyle Fellowship return with their long-awaited album The Promise. Calling Freestyle Fellowship legendary is far from a hyperbolic claim, Emcees Myka 9, Self Jupiter, Aceyalone, and P.E.A.C.E., along with DJ Kiilu Grand, have mad an indelible mark on Hip-Hop since the independent release of 1991's To Whom It May Concern, travelling in stream-of-conciousness rhymes, intricate wordplay, powerful battle raps, and thoughtful spoken word poetry that incorporated Jazz, Funk, Soul, and Reggae all under the umbrella of Hip-Hop.

"I think that The Promise comprises the best of all our past albums," says Self Jupiter. "We want to get the stuff to boom and bap for the DJs, but also have those same sensibilities of Jazz and underground Hip-Hop where the focus is more on the artistic quantitative efforts."
