AFu-Ra Preps New Album, Launches Label

Post by Deena »

Gang Starr affiliate Afu Ru is preparing his third album, State of the Arts.

Afu said that his latest release is more diverse and more reflective of his musical tastes.

"With this album I took a firmer direction musically in the way I wanted this album to go" Afu-Ra told AllHipHop.com. "This album is Hip-Hop influenced with a lot of diverse beats as far s rock and reggae. With this album I feel closer to who I am as a person through music than I did with my previous albums."

State of the Arts is the first record of Afu Ra to be put out on his label Life Force Records which is distributed through Decon.

"I feel great about my partnership with Decon because now as opposed to being an artist, I am a partner," Afu said. "I own my own masters and I don't have to worry about recouping out of my royalties and stuff to pay the label back. In the end it just all works out better for me."

State of the Arts features collaborations with artists like Royce Da 5'9, Masta Killa, Kardinal Offishall and Gentlemen.

Afu also reunites with DJ Premier on the track "Sucka Free" to show that the Gang Starr crew is still in effect.

A side from working on his third album and starting a label, Afu-Ra is also currently working on an upcoming Perverted Monks project.

"We are definitely working on a follow up to our debut [Afu-Ra Presents Perverted Monks] from last year," Afu said. "This album is going to show case our sound, which is perverted without being raunchy. We are like an intellectual version of the 2 Live Crew."

Afu-Ra is also set to embark on a tour of the United States with Inspektah Deck and Planet Asia.

State of the Arts is slated to drop on June 14th.
Listed below are tour dates, for more information log on to www.afu-ra.com.

The book is RZA??€�s first written work and contains his thoughts, a dictionary containing ??€?Wu Slang,??€? a section devoted to an analysis of Wu Tang??€�s lyrics, never-before-seen photos of the group and other offerings.

RZA said he was pleased with the results of the first book and hinted that a follow-up was in the works.
