New Black Lips featuring Wu’s GZA – “The Drop I Hold”

Published on May 11, 2009 in News. 1 Comment Tags: , .

I’ll be honest with you folks – I’m not the biggest fan of Hotlanta’s Black Lips.  I know they get a lot of praise n all but they never quite hit it off with my ears.  But when the Wu’s GZA gets involved I TAKE NOTICE.  Yeah I’m one of those people that likes to care a spare copy of Liquid Swords in my book bag JUST IN CASE.  So when I heard GZA was appearing on the Black Lips track “The Drop I Hold” I was intrigued and took it all in (it’s on a new Itunes EP).   Am I a converted Black Lips fan now?  Nope.

There is one Black Lips track I still play every now and then though…but that’s mainly because Diplo kicks some serious ass.
