Most of the 13 tracks are new material, but the record does contain almost everything from his Superplexed EP , released back in December of 2010. But, that was a great record and mostly overlooked anyway. Here's a new cut, and then go listen to the whole thing because it's one of the better records to come out of Atlanta this year.
