Tomorrow, September 18th, New York City rapper Double A.B. will release his new album, the collaborative effort with producer Dub Sonata, Media Shower. The album, being released via Man Bites Dog Records, is classic New York hip-hop – all deftly chopped samples, slick wordplay, and vivid storytelling – and includes features from the likes Roc Marciano, Evidence, Cannibal Ox, and Rhymefest. Also featured on the album are Sean Price and Scram Jones, both of whom show up on the latest single from Media Shower,"Some Bullsh!t."
"Some Bullsh!t," premiered this afternoon by Complex , is easily one of the most fun, lighthearted tracks from Media Shower, with an upbeat, horn, string, and clap-driven instrumental courtesy of Dub Sonata. The three rappers, for their part, trade wordplay heavy verses – "Swing blades with young Tyson-fade skills/ Treat your skin like the plastic tops of microwave meals," raps Double A.B.; "Ni**as cut corners in order to look good/ Me – I cut ni**as in order to look hood," counters Sean Price. The video, directed by Steven Tapia, is just as fun as the song, with the three rappers tipping back shots and wreaking havoc at a local nightclub.

Background:
New York City rapper Double A.B. first garnered attention in the late '90s, as a teenager, when his demo was discovered by Blaze Magazine. The publication was so impressed with A.B.'s music that it quickly entered the rap upstart into its popular Blaze Battle, and while Double A.B. entered as an unknown, he left, burgeoning career underway, as one of four semi-finalists in the battle. A.B. continued his battle dominance, taking part in a number of national television competitions on MTV, before switching modes and leaving the battle circuit in order to focus on his music full-time. Since then, Double A.B. has released two albums, New York Minute and The Diesel, and has collaborated with the likes of Vast Aire, Scram Jones, and others. He's also stayed busy on the road, touring with artists including the GZA, Cannibal Ox, eLZhi, and C-Rayz Walz. Now, on September 18th, Double A.B. is teaming up again with producer Dub Sonata -- the two first collaborated on Double A.B.'s album The Diesel -- and together the rapper and producer pair will release a new album, Media Shower via Man Bites Dog Records. In addition to Roc Marciano, who is featured on lead single "Lord Knows What," Media Showers will include features from Sean Price, Rhymefest, Cannibal Ox, Evidence, and others.
