Quakers self titled album (download/stream)

this is exciting!! Geoff Barrow is a monster, and to come thru with 41 tracks, I dont know what to say!

Quakers: a hip-hop collective boasting 35 members orbiting around a core of three producers: Fuzzface, 7-Stu-7 and Katalyst. Fuzzface is better known as Portishead’s Geoff Barrow; 7-Stu-7 is Portishead’s engineer and in-house producer at Invada Records; Katalyst is one of the most respected producers in Australia.

Invitations were sent out to golden era legends such as Prince Po and The Pharcyde’s Booty Brown, indie rap titans such as Dead Prez and Phat Kat, and of course some of StonesThrow’s finest: Aloe Blacc, Guilty Simpson, MED and newest signings Jonwayne and Dave Dub all make memorable contributions. There are also some lesser known talents present: band-favorite Coin Locker Kid, Lyric Jones, Estee Nack & more hold it down with their more celebrated peers.
