There aren’t many more people in Hip Hop right loved (and equally as hated) as Lil B at the current moment. That’s what makes him so interesting to follow. Last night, I was blessed with opportunity to host his listening party for his new LP Angels Exodus at Velour NYC. B “cooked” and played cuts from the album which will be released January 18 on Amalgam Digital, but he also took time to speak to his fans in attendance.

The highly controversial “Based God” spoke on the importance and the influence the East Coast and artists like RZA, MF Doom, Jean Grae and overall “real lyricism” had on his progression and on the album itself. Angels is  digital release only project and can be found exclusively www.AmalgamDigital.com with 2 additional bonus tracks. And in the video, B explains he has two projects on the way. The second is a full length album entitled Glass Face set to soon follow next week’s release.

Thanks to Amber Ravenel, Joe & Next from Amalgam Digital for putting together a great event!
