Longtime underground rap collaborators YUNGMORPHEUS and THERAVADA have announced a new album together (produced entirely by the latter), Up Against The Wall; A Degree of Lunacy, due August 5 via Bad Taste (pre-order). Guest appearances come from Awhlee and Starker. YUNGMORPHEUS says, "I consider this record a snapshot of a time where I began to become aware of the looseness we operate in spatially and the consequences of said space. You need the shadow to see the glimmer of light ! Back might be against the wall but pendulum forever swings ! Big ups Theravada for working on this piece with me—this was a long time coming. This is as organic as it come. Thank you for your ears."
The first single is "Beneath the Visage," which finds YUNGMORPHEUS delivering hazy bars over a trippy, pitched-up soul sample. Check it out below.
