The producer and composer Adrian Younge put together the excellent fake-vintage blaxploitation score for Black Dynamite and, earlier this year, recorded an album with Delfonics singer William Hart. And for his latest trick, he’s linked with Wu-Tang legend Ghostface Killah to record Twelve Reasons To Die, a new rap opera with a plotline about a black mobster who becomes an avenging ghost superhero. Ghost recorded the album with Younge’s live band Venice Dawn, and the result is some beautifully lux psychedelic soul, a nice bed for Ghost’s absurdist storytelling. We posted the early track “The Rise Of Ghostface Killah,” and now the whole album is streaming online. Listen below.
