Doomtree: "The Grand Experiment" + No Kings Pre-Order


There's a lot to digest in this post, I'll try to keep it simple.
  • Doomtree's sophomore crew album No Kings is due November 22.
  • The pre-order for the album has launched today. It includes CD and 2xLP options, as well as tons of other goodies and gadgets, like t-shirts, stickers, buttons, posters, and commemorative boxes. Who doesn't love commemorative boxes?
  • All pre-orders gain automatic entry into random drawings for Doomtree's mind blowing upcoming residency at First Ave/7th St Entry. Random winners, announced every week, get tickets to all seven shows. A lucky winner gets VIP treatment at every show, one night in a lucury Minneapolis hotel, and $77.77 to blow on gas/booze/etc that weekend.
  • Place your pre-orders at Doomtree's website.
  • Below is a stream of "The Grand Experiment," the first single from No Kings. Everyone raps but P.O.S., who sings the hook.
