The official Cinemetropolis release date is June 14. But everyone who pledged to get the advance digital copy on our kickstarter campaign began receiving the download links on May 15. We’re overwhelmed by the initial feedback and appreciate all the contributions and critiques. If you pledged but have not yet received your link, or if you’re having problems with the download, please send us an email describing the issue.
We’re about to roll out the first wave of video projects beginning with a music video for Fou Lee and the Slick Watts short film premiere. More to come in the summertime, followed by a national tour in the Fall. AND if you’re in Seattle June 17/18, hit up our record release party at Neumos (VIP party on June 15)!
If you got the album, let us and the world know what you think! We read it all.
Cinemetropolis is one of the greatest, most original albums I’ve ever listened to. DOPE. Buy it when it drops in June!
Wake Up!: A John Legend x The Roots collaboration
Spotted at 2dopeboyz.com Musical powerhouses John Legend & The Roots are presenting fans with a fiery new offering, Wake Up! The upcoming CD, being released by Sony Music on September 21, 2010, will feature soulful music from the 60’s and 70’s all with an underlying theme of awareness, engagement and consciousness— effectively telling listeners to Wake Up! After being inspired by the recent historical Presidential election campaign of 2008, the R&B singer Legend and hip-hop band The Roots felt a need to enter the action. What started as plans for a single quickly developed into a passionate album representing change, hope and activism— not only referencing one particular moment in time, but on a larger scale, holding true no matter what the political climate may be.
