When it comes to instrumental Hip-Hop, the name Fat Jon is synonymous. Back around ’04-’05, Humanoid Erotica was instrumental (pun intended) in hooking my ears into the sub-genre turned stand alone art form. So when I heard that Maurice Galactica was returning with a follow up, it qualified as WIB “Extra! Extra!” material.  Although, it only has a limited CD and vinyl release in Japan and, as is usually the case for me, these kind of releases are always sold out before I even get a clue on what’s going on. Readers out in Japan – don’t miss it! Artwork and tracklisting after the link…

I was also gonna throw in a stream of a personal favourite track from Humanoid Erotica, but the whole damn thing is nice. Purchase from iTunes and Amazon.
