Queens rapper Meyhem Lauren and Cypress Hill producer DJ Muggs have teamed up for a new collaborative project, Gems From The Equinox.
Packed with 11 fresh tracks, the album features some of the usual suspects, including Action Bronson, Hologram and B-Real. Roc Marciano, Conway, the late Sean Price and Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire contribute some colorful verses as well.
True to form, the album retains a strict East Coast Hip Hop vibe and a raw grittiness typically found throughout Lauren’s catalog. His last album, Piatto D’oro, was released in 2016 and featured a couple of the same contributors such as Bronson and Hologram.
As a bonus, the duo has also rolled through with a video for “Hashashin” featuring Conway. Directed by David Sakolsky, the visual finds the trifecta hitting dark alleyways while delivering their signature brand of ’90s-flavored Hip Hop.
