Cover art, tracklist and release date for Sivion's album "Group Therapy"

Okay, so I got the privilege to do the album artwork for Sivion's long-awaited new album Group Therapy. I have heard the record, and it's dope! The wait is almost over for the rest of y'all...

"They wanna pit rap against hip hop. Same thang. Like blue in the vein, red in the air. Same gang." @Th3oryHazit

If you didn't know blood was blue when it's in the veins because there isn't any oxygen in it, and only turns red in the arteries after it gets oxygen from the lungs (or when it is spilled into the oxygen-rich air)... or that the Bloods is a gang that wears red... or that there was a song called All in the Same Gang about the desire for truce between the Bloods and the Crips (a rival gang who wear blue), then I understand why that line doesn't impress you like it does me. Listen to this record Thelonious Long Play anyway when you got an hour to burn...

Playdough in the HOUSE, April 11th

long-time ghettoManga readers will remember when i couldn't stop talking about Dallas emcee/beatmaker Playdough. he's a record-breaking champion battle rhymer 'round these parts, more than competent maestro on beats, and as prolific as weezy f baby to boot! while on tour in australia (see what i mean?), Playdough recorded Goodonya with aussie goodfellas like DJ Flagrant and Nill Void, plus the usual suspects like Pigeon John, Con Safos, Freddie Bruno and Sean P. anyways, roll out to the Mokah Coffee Lounge in Dallas and witness this rap luminary do his t'ing, courtesy of the fine folks at ArtLoveMagic (for more info, go here). if you never heard him, go here and sample some cuts, cousin!
