NOBODY PLANNING TO LEAVE

VINYL & SHIRT PRE-ORDERS NOW LIVE!

Nobody Planning To Leave is the new album from Curly Castro and PremRockaka ShrapKnel, fully produced by Controller 7. Featuring Open Mike Eagle, Onry Ozzborn, Lungs, Breezly Brewin, D-Styles (of the legendary Beat Junkies), and ELUCID. The title represents a duality. Both a boastful claim and also a resigned recognition. Sometimes you’re planting your flag and sometimes you’re acknowledging that it’s all ultimately out of your control. With the exception of a few cases, nobody plans to leave. Nobody plans to abandon their passion either. Usually the slow grind of necessity chooses that for you. What started as a few DMs between Castro and Controller 7 in 2021 slowly morphed into a fully fleshed opus. 

Close your eyes and imagine De La Soul is Dead if the Plugs were steeped in the murky tea of the early aughts independent scene. It’s a propulsive, cohesive listen, that finds the rappers forging new ground both sonically and stylistically. The first ShrapKnel LP was wind, a self-titled sheer force that awoke the masses to the New. The second album was fire, forged in a Metal Lung, seasoned by smoke and libation alike. This third offering is earth, rooted in our influences, from soil-turned-vines-turned blades that scale the highest of structures.

Many Headed (Controller 7 Remix)
In case you missed it, Controller 7’s recent remix of the A7PHA - “Many Headed” posse cut not only has Mestizo, Buck 65, Self Jupiter, Aesop Rock, and Doseone on it, but he added a new verse from ShrapKnel to the line up. Controller 7 previously worked with Prem and Castro on the Wrecking Crew track “Supreme Rock,” but this remix plants the seeds for what’s to come with Nobody Planning to Leave.
