Thug Life Army

Legendary hip hop star, rap artist, west coast producer and ‘hood legend’ Binky Mack has announced his latest project is to be released on March 27th exclusively on ThugLifeArmy.com and ThugLifeArmyRecords.com for free download. Two singles off the EP have already dropped and can be downloaded for free at ThugLifeArmy.com.

We asked the hip hop notable about his upcoming EP titled ‘HELD HOSTAGE’. We wanted to know why an EP, and what is next for this hip hop heavy weight.

“I did this EP because I didn''t want to do a mixtape. I wanted to bring back the EP as doing something different. I also wanted to bring back the way the older school like RunDMC, Slick Rick and people like Rakim didn''t have guest appearances on their CD. Even though Squeak Ru will be on a song called "America" that me and him did a few months ago,” said Binky Mack.

Binky continued to say “I have a few things in the works for the future. Along with more film and TV stuff, I will be dropping the gospel CD GospelTality some time this summer. People been asking about it and it will be something for folks to think about. Put something on their minds. What I didn’t want to do is be to preachy on it. I also wanted to state that ‘HELD HOSTAGE’ and ‘GospelTality’ will not conflict. I am just doing something a few other cats may be scared to do because they wouldn''t want to mess up their situation. But I been working on this cd for some years, and it needs to come out. So I am gonna do it.”

Binky also mentioned “I am also dropping the ‘HELD HOSTAGE’ album before the year is out. And me and Squeak have been talking about a new allfrumtha i CD with some of the Westside Connection family involved. We will see. Some meetings will have to take place and it will have to be done right. Not just to be puttin a CD out. The Dogg Pound got their thing back crackin, I know WSCG could do the same thing. We''ll see.”

So as you can see hip hop ‘hood legend’ Binky Mack is steadily on the grind and has many enormous projects ahead. The information of a possible allfrumtha i album is news that will surely have the hip hop community buzzing.

A ‘hard copy’ of the EP ‘HELD HOSTAGE” will also be made available for those who do not have the capability to download and burn it.
