Prince Paul is certainly no stranger to collaborative hip hop work. His production on the early De La Soul albums cemented his position as one of hip hop's eminent producers. After that, he went on to do a complete stylistic about-face as he helped pioneer the macabre, horrorcore sound by assembling the Gravediggaz with RZA, Frukwan, and Poetic. Not one to be confined to any one sound, however, Prince Paul continued to demonstrate the breadth of his sonic palette by forming the Handsome Boy Modeling School project with Dan the Automator and working with musical visionaries such as Bernie Worrell and David Byrne.
It was announced recently that Prince Paul would be forming another supergroup, this time with Ladybug Mecca from the Digable Planets, voice-over legend Don Newkirk, and vocalist Rodrigo Brandao. They're calling the project Broozkill!, and they plan on releasing several mixtapes over the upcoming months. Their full length debut, titled Throwback to the Future, is slated for an October release.
Their first mixtape was released yesterday and can currently be found on SoundCloud. A collection of artists this inspired and groundbreaking are sure to release some amazing work, and they'll give us a lot of great hip hop to which we can look forward..
