As many of you know, we are currently in the studio working on our next record which we are hoping to have ready for early Fall 2007. We are very excited about how this record is coming together. So far we have contributions from some of our very favorite MCs including Mr. Lif, Lyrics Born, Ladybug Mecca (from Digable Planets), Gift of Gab (from Blackalicious), Chali2na (Jurassic 5), and Lateef the Truth Speaker. We also did a really cool track with New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian Big Chief Monk Boudreaux. In addition to the vocal tunes, we also have several killer instrumentals that we are working on including one that will feature NOLA's own Trombone Shorty. We are thrilled with how the project is coming along and plan to debut some of the material at a couple of bigger shows during the summer. We will continue to post updates on our progress over the next few months.

"Just last week after Groundation's annual Bob Marley tour we had so much fun playing with one of the inventors and prime innovators of the reggae drums Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, that we went into the Prairie Sun Recording Studio in Cotati, CA and recorded about 15 or so tracks that came out surprisingly good. These will be released at some point during Groundation's busy schedule on their label Youngtree Records. There is talk of mixing the album in Jamaica." (from Will Bernard's site)
