KOCH Records is thrilled to announce the release of a brand new album by legendary Hip Hop artist/philosopher KRS-ONE. The album, titled "Hip Hop Lives," is Executive Produced by Marley Marl and will be released on May 22nd, 2007.
"Hip Hop Lives" (title track) and "Kill A Rapper" lead the album project as two very relevant songs for the Hip Hop community right now. "Kill A Rapper" touches on the murders of popular rappers and begs the question of why Rap murders go unresolved by the police? "Hip Hop Lives" focuses upon Hip Hop's immortality and reminds us of the ways in which Hip Hop renews itself annually. For 20 years KRS-ONE and Marley Marl have been known for producing classic Rap material; "Hip Hop Lives" is clearly another classic.
