This summer Erick Sermon will release his fifth solo album dubbed “Chilltown, NY.” The legendary producer/emcee, who is now signed to Motown/Universal, drops the album on June 22nd. “The simplest thing you can do to sound ill today is brag. That’s not what you call hip-hop. I don’t know what that is. I seen the era,” states Sermon. “And I built the era. And I built what’s coming now to be able to say, ‘You know what? I’ma go against the grain.'”
I should also point out that Slum Village’s “Detroit Deli” has been moved to June 29th…
According to MTV.com D-12 is heading out on a US tour in support of their sophomore album “D12 World.” Only the first few dates have been announced (see below), but there are many more to come. It should be noted that the tour is sans Eminem, save any surprise appearances he makes.
