What their people want you to know:

QK10 draws near it’s close, with the release of Deacon The Villain & Sheisty Khrist’s brand joint-project, Niggaz With Latitude (NWL.).

After an explosive appearance by Sheisty Khrist on CunninLynguists 2008 album Dirty Acres left fans clammoring for more, Deacon The Villain searched for the perfect opportunity to pair his long-overlooked talents as a producer with Sheisty’s bombastic vocals in an album format. Thus, the concept for Niggaz With Latitude was born.

This 13-track gem is produced entirely by Deacon The Villain, with two clutch offerings from fellow QN5 beatsmiths Kno (of CunninLynguists) and Kokayi. Guest vocal appearances are scored by Natti, PackFM, Mino Slick & Bianca Spriggs along with the musical stylings of Soul Akoben and guitarist Willie Eames.

Tracks like “American Greed” and Rip The Guts” take the listener for a tour of society’s shadowy corners while “Ascension” and “Final Call” connect with an airy spirituality not-often heard in modern Hip Hop. An open-booth policy was kept during the recording process, with the Kentucky-natives trading places often, challenging each other to up the ante with each verse. The result is a thoroughly dense, rough-around-the-edges musical bombshell that manages to adds another distinctively insightful chapter into the annals of southern soul.

If that all sounds a bit intellectual to you, that’s ok…they dress up like NWA – complete with Jheri curls and Locs for your entertainment too.
