BK-One: "Tema Do Canibal" (Video)

Rhymesayers wins. BK-One and Zilla are crafting what looks to be one of the freshest releases of the year with Radio de Canibal. Preorder it at Fifth Element.

The second track, "Tema do Canibal" off of BK-One's upcoming album Rádio do Canibal. The song features the Chicago based nine piece horn and drum group the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble who have worked with the likes of Mos Def and Erykah Badu. The track was produced by BK-One & Benzilla.

Benzilla & BK-One Announce Upcoming Album 'Radio de Canibal' (Video)

Minneapolis DJs Benzilla (who produced a handful of tracks on Toki Wright's A Different Mirror) and BK-One will be coming out with their album Radio de Canibal sometime this fall. Very interesting concept — all Brazillian samples, guerilla style crate digging, etc. Plus what appears to be tons of amazing guests, from Black Thought to Raekwon to I Self Devine. It looks like we might have 2009's White Van Music upon us. Zilla and BK-One will be at Last of the Record Buyers on August 20 to discuss the album.
