PRE-ORDER: GENUINE DEXTERITY

High Bias

By now most of you know there is a new billy woods/Kenny Segal album somewhere on the horizon. Some of you are expecting an announcement, tracklist, pre-orders, maybe some music, and all that is coming, but this is not that newsletter. This newsletter has the stuff you weren’t expecting and didn’t know you needed, to whit; a Backwoodz tape of new music from some of our flagship artists alongside cats that are new to the roster. A taste of things to come. In addition to that we have a lot of artists who are hitting the road in the coming days, so check out the tour dates from ShrapKnel, billy woods, SKECH185, AKAI SOLO and Kenny Segal!

HIGH BIAS
Backwoodz Artist Mixtape

Cassette Available For Pre-Order, Now Available For Download

High Bias lies somewhere between a label sampler and woods’ curated mixtape, featuring label mainstays alongside new friends, collaborators and signees. Ten tracks from Armand Hammer, Cavalier, ShrapKnel, DJ Haram, AKAI SOLO, August Fanon, Steel Tipped Dove, Sebb Bash, Fatboi Sharif, Mattie, P.U.D.G.E.Oh and a new track from Breezly Brewin, just to make sure this cake has all the icing you could ask for. 

We have printed up a limited run of High Bias cassettes that will be given to artists to take on the road, with a smaller amount being sold directly. Pre-orders are live nowand will start shipping within 6-8 weeks. This is a limited run that will NOT be re-upped. As far as digital goes, High Bias  is not available on streaming, so grab it on Bandcamp (it IS Bandcamp Friday) or cop it direct from us.
