This past weekend I was out at a bar celebrating my friend's return to NYC. The DJs were playing a lot of the standard stuff you'd expect to hear at a Williamsburg bar, but at one point they put on "Luchini AKA This Is It" and my level of happiness hit its peak for the night. Uptown Saturday Night is one of the most unique hip-hop albums of all-time and while I don't necessarily expect a classic along the lines of that album, I'm excited to see what Camp Lo comes up with on their upcoming 7-track EP Another Heist which comes out in August .

Camp Lo is prepping for their first large release since 2002'''s Let'''s Do It Again. The first single from the EP, ''"Ticket 4 Two''", demonstrates Sunny and Geechi continuing to lay down mischievous but appealing lyrics and flawlessly delivered verses while Ski brings back the melodic-soul element evident in the production on their debut album Uptown Saturday Night. "The cats who never heard Camp Lo's music are gonna be surprised to hear something this new and refreshing, and the longtime fans will definitely not be disappointed,''" Ski explains. ''"I'm not in the business of making wack music or compromising my sound to fit into any categories, so check us out." The album will be released through a joint venture between Ski'''s label Redefinition Records and High Water Music.
