Rapper Canibus is preparing to release two albums, one, titled Mind Control for Gladiator Records, the other, named the final touches on a new album, titled Mind Control.
The album will showcase what has been dubbed a new sound that reflects Canibus' new attitude, based on his extensive travels throughout the Middle East, while serving time in the U.S. Army.
The rapper will address why he joined the military and what horrors of war he witnessed as a result of joining the United States army, after the September 11th terror attacks on World Trade Center and the Pentagon in the United States.
Mind Control features one guest appearance from longtime Hip-Hop associate Kurupt.
The first single is named after the title of the album and is starting to generate a buzz.
The entire album was produced by veteran producer Mark Sparks, who has crafted records for Carl Thomas, Anthony Hamilton, Sunshine Anderson and many
Mind Control is slated to hit stores in this summer on the Gladiator Records label.
In related news, Babygrande.com also announced that Canibus and Mic Club Music will drop an album in May, titled Hip-Hop for Sale.
Like Mind Control, the Hip-Hop for Sale album features the exclusive services of one producer, this time Virginia native Nottz.
“Canibus is one of the greatest MC's in hip-hop history and he'll always have a home at Babygrande. It is an honor to be able to make another record with him. I've been a fan of Nottz production since we worked together on the "Training Day" soundtrack back when I was A&R at Priority. Canibus and Nottz have made an incredible record together," says Babygrande CEO Chuck Wilson.
