The Village Voice‘s “Yes, In My Backyard” column talks (briefly) to Diggin’ In The Crates vets A.G. and O.G., set to drop their collab project Oasis on Nov. 10. The first single, “Think About It”, is a smooth listen. Nothing brand new, and won’t ignite feelings of nostalgia, but definitely listenable, for old fans and new ones as well. Balancing lines referring to veterans needing residences, and Buffy’s body, they definitely give us things to think about.
Check the entire interview here, which includes a link to download the single.
An excerpt:
The two members of longstanding pan-borough collective Diggin’ In The Crates (the same one that spawned Fat Joe and Big L) still sound deadly: their first album-length collabo, Oasis (Nature Sounds, due November 10) is all effortless flow and perfectly skeletal boom-bap.
