Yesterday has been…a trip. Pictures are worth a thousand blog entries so I’ll start with this:
@ Tower Records, Japan
There was a time in my life, not too long ago, before all this newfangled MP3 biznass where every Tuesday I would go to The Wherehouse (it’s a record store that’s now gone bankrupt) and eye all the latest releases. I LOVED that New Releases shelf. It was the highlight of my week and if only I had invested all the money I had spent on CD’s back then on Apple stock I would be writing this from the Carribean right now (oh HEY shout out to Derek who is on a mo’fucking Carribean boat right now!) but that’s neither here nor there. Basically fam, basically what I’m trying to say is… to see an album I’ve worked on, IN STORES, IN JAPAN, IN that NEW RELEASE shelf that I love so much…what a trip.
So yes, as of today 11/23 Home:Word is available nation wide in stores in Japan. And even crazier, the album debuted at #3 on the Hip Hop Charts!!!
Big shout out to Goon Trax our label who have been nothing but the most amazing professionals to work with! They even sent along this beautiful picture they made to commemorate the release!
Don’t we look purty?
And finally, some useful links for buying Home:Word [Japan Edition]!

Yo! I cannot congratulate you cats enough! This is surreal! Big ups to Japan for appreciating good music!
I was totally also one to camp out by the “new releases” section of Sam Goody, Tape World, Warehouse, and pretty much ever other record store (remember those?)that I’d be near. haha!
BTW…the illustration reminds me of The Beatles’ “Revolver” cover
I know what you mean, I still stake out shops when new CD’s drop. I don’t know, I love being old school. Anyway. I absolutely love you guys, you guys are too talented. Can’t wait to buy the new album. Keep up the fantastic work and know that you have me and millions of others always eagerly awaiting your new drops.
And that picture is so gorgeous, you guys look incredible. I think it’s inspiring me ^_^
