Celph Titled and Buckwild leaked this track today in anticipation for their LP “Nineteen-Ninety-Now” which claims to be bringing with it a “Hip-Hop Renaissance.” “Nothin’ To Say” is a non-LP track, but sets a high standard of what to expect from the project which is set for release on the 26th October.

In celebration of embarking on the “To All My Friends Tour” with Atmosphere, Blueprint has dropped this EP, which you can stream or download (you get to name your own price) from Bandcamp after the jump… [Read More..]
