Shrapknel - Nobody Planning To Leave - Music & Performance - Vinyl

This release features a single black vinyl packaged in a 12" jacket designed and laid out by Controller 7, a 12x24 4-panel insert with art from Shane Ingersoll, and photography by Matt Shaver. Nobody Planning To Leave is the new album from Curly Castro and PremRock, aka ShrapKnel, which was entirely 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 acknowledge that it's all ultimately out of your control. Except in 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. This third offering is earth, rooted in our influences, from soil-turned-vines-turned blades that scale the highest structures.
