THE JEDI MIND TRICKS/ARMY OF THE PHARAOHS AFFILIATES’ PROJECTS:
Doap Nixon: “Sour Diesel” – July 22nd
King Syze: “The Labor Union” – August 5th
Outerspace: “God’s Fury” – September 30
With all three records executive produced by Vinnie Paz himself, these LP’s carry the unique sonic stamp of the Jedi Mind Tricks’ experience and reflect Jedi’s continual commitment to the cultivation of true, hardcore hip-hop. Like the releases from the Vinnie Paz’ anchored supergroup Army of the Pharaohs (“Torture Papers” and late ‘07’s “Ritual of Battle”), these records are both a reflection of and homage to the “hardcore, that real raw type ish” pioneered by none other than JMT.
First up is July 22nd’s debut from buzzing AOTP core member Doap Nixon:
