I don’t mean to brag, but I am going to take a second to do just that. As per Supernova Earth’s recent interview with MC Speech from Arrested Development and UK SuperProducer Configa, we at The New Haberdasher were the FIRST people in the world who were not directly associated with the making of Arrested Development’s newest record For the FKN Love to hear the record, a full week ahead of the record’s release on Bandcamp on December 3.
That’s not a humble brag at all. It was a true honor to know that we had a world exclusive on our hands. And such an amazing album too! I am blessed to be associated with such talented and generous people as these two artists, sitting at the top of hip hop as an art form, whatever commercial music journalists do or do not say about them.
Then I am informed on The Supernova Earth Show that this will be Arrested Development’s last record! Configa says this might be his last album too, but I took that with a grain of salt, because that is in itself so unbelievable… That would be like me saying that “Supernova Earth 31”, where my cohost and I interviewed Speech and Configa could be my last podcast, when things are finally coming together for the show, we’ve hit our stride and are operating at top performance.
