On Thursday 19 June 2014, the 9-track mixtape will be streamed exclusively via Spotify. It will be available as a free download via this site from late June 2014.
Largely produced and mixed ‘in-house’ by Crew members LINEATH and Kenneth Yong, the mixtape is mastered by Singapore music producer Don Richmond. Leaders Of The New Skool features collaborations within the Crew, showcasing tunes from individual members and as a collective unit. Our homies such as Vanessa Fernandez, Requiem, Sheeq Luna, Dee Kosh, Glen Wee, DJ Rattle, Shorya Tha Reign and Malaysia’s SonaOne (Kartel Records) lend their incredible talents to the creation of this project.
This is a landmark year where the Crew will be releasing a tremendous amount of content. Starting with its debut mixtape, individual crew members will follow up with their own releases throughout the year. LINEATH’s debut EP will drop in August, followed by Crew leader ShiGGa Shay’s full-length follow-up to They Call Me ShiGGa EP in September. Charles ENERO’s Hip-Hop trio Whereverest will put out their first EP in November. Tosh Rock and Weiliang are releasing video singles in the later part of 2014. The Zadon and Charles ENERO will be collaborating on a joint EP as well. DJ LeNERD is continuing his monthly mixtape series through his Soundcloud channel.
