Chino XL's new album
"RICANstruction: The Black Rosary" is scheduled to drop on Viper Records on September 25th. It's going to be a double album with 35 tracks and guest appearances by Tech N9ne, Big Pun (an unreleased verse), Immortal Technique, Rakaa, Travis Barker, Horseshoe Gang, and many more. I love the idea of Chino and Immortal Technique on the same label. Can't believe there's no guest spot by Crooked I. Can't wait!
Quote:
Those lucky enough to be artistes have a unique forum for exorcising their demons: demons many of us can also relate to and for Chino, “RICANstruction: The Black Rosary” is most certainly an exorcism. On the 35-track set he tackles difficult subjects such as the abuse he suffered as a child, his resulting fractured personal relationships, his own daughter’s battle with cancer and a past suicide attempt, amongst other things. While crafting these emotionally draining songs, Chino realized that he was helping himself and others by recording them. “It’s a complete unbottling of a lot of stuff, things that I probably had suppressed,” he explains. “The human psyche has the ability and the power to do that in order to keep it functioning. I felt that it was time to let most of it out so I could move on and get past some of those issues. Whilst on tour last year, I realized how many people I connected to when I expressed a lot of those more painful, emotional songs. It seemed like a lot of folks really needed to hear them. I can learn from that to help them relate so they can also get past what they had going on. I realized that’s part of my journey.
