Blue Scholars - "HI-808" x Info on the OOF! EP

I've always been a big fan of the Blue Scholars so I was excited to see this in my Inbox today! "HI-808" is a fresh drop for their upcoming 10-track EP "OOF!" Starts off a little odd, but right after that it's mad dope. Can't wait for this new EP - comes out AUGUST 25TH!

DOWNLOAD/STREAM

DESCRIPTION OF "OOF!":
"OOF! is the story about the Hawaii that you don't see on TV: fish-fry BBQs in Waianae, native Hawaiians struggling for sovereignty, house parties on the Leeward side, uncles playing mah-jong on a lanai in Waipahu, a thriving independent hip-hop and fashion scene, on-air ciphers at KTUH, a room full of folks vibin' to a mean reggae song, young poets spitting fire into mics, grubbing on poke in the Foodland parking lot, whole neighborhoods leveled by the ice epidemic.
...
Along with its digital release, the OOF! EP will also be pressed into a limited-edition run of 808 CDs which will be available exclusively from the Blue Scholars’ and other project partners’ websites and at the IN4MATION Ward location in Honolulu, HI. The whole project is part of Blue Scholars’ artist owned label MassLine, underwritten through a strategic marketing partnership with Seattle’s independent coffee company Caffè Vita, distributed digitally by Tunecore, and marketed in collaboration with Duck Down Records."
