 Legendary Juice Crew members, Craig G and Marley Marl, announced recently they have teamed up for a new project titled Operation: Take Back Hip-Hop.
The album, according to Craig G, is he and Marley's attempt at making a change in music, not by complaining, but by taking action.
"Operation: Take Back Hip-Hop is just what it is," said Craig G. "Instead of me wasting years complaining along with journalists and everyone else, Marley and I are trying to make change through music. This is my passion, this is what raised me, and I refuse to stand by and watch my culture get destroyed any further with poor quality music."
After the success of his collaboration with KRS-One in 2007 called Hip-Hop Lives, Marley Marl is confident his collabo with Craig G is just what people are looking for.
"True hip-hop fans stand up, Operation: Take Back Hip-Hop is what you've been waiting for," added Marley Marl.
The new album will feature guest appearances by the likes of Talib Kweli, Rakaa of Dilated Peoples, Sadat X, and KRS-One among others. Marley Marl himself handles the bulk of the production for the project.
Operation: Take Back Hip-Hop is being released by Philadelphia-based label Good Hands Records, which has previously released albums by Camp-Lo, Killah Priest, Kurupt and Tangled Thoughts, Reef The Lost Cauze, Chief Kamachi and others.
"To be able to work with legends like Craig G and Marley Marl is such a privilege," said Good Hands Records president DJ Truth. "The album is exceptional, I would be stunned if it is not considered one of this years best."
Operation: Take Back Hip-Hop will hit stores this spring. Good Hands Records is also set to release Killah Priest's Behind The Stained Glass in the spring as well.
