Black Thought & El Michels Affair Release ‘Glorious Game’
The long-awaited collaborative LP from Black Thought and El Michels Affair is here. On Friday (April 14), Thought – teamed with El Michels lead Leon Michels – released the 12-track Glorious Game. The album includes collaborations with Kirby (“Glorious Game”), Son Little (“Protocol”), and Brainstory (“Alter Ego”).
Thought and Leon recently spoke to Bandcamp Daily about Glorious Game, revealing that they decided not to have any rap features on the album.
“There was a point where we were trying to figure out, ‘Should we get guest MCs on the record?’ We both came to the conclusion these songs were done,” Michels said. “To try and chase any features felt forced. Which speaks more to the fact that we were making it for ourselves, and that it happened quick and it felt finished.”
