Gang Starr announces new album, unveils another single “Bad Name”
After DJ Premier dropped new Gang Starr material — the single and video, “Family And Loyalty” which features J. Cole — he appeared to deny most fan’s suspicion that a new full-length project was probably in the offing. Well, it turns out he was just preparing us for the news: it’s now been confirmed that One Of The Best Yet, the duo’s first album in 16 years, will drop on November 1. Alongside the announcement, a new single “Bad Name” has been shared.
Diving into the state of hip-hop, “Bad Name” carries the late emcee Guru’s enlightening lyrics and DJ Premier’s nostalgia-inducing production. There’s something so angelic about the song!
