It is titled Stifled Creativity and it will be out on June 21. Fun fact: it will be out the day before the 20-year anniversary of that last record, Fully Loaded w/ Statik. One half of the production duo, Mr. Walt, detailed the process of getting this song out to the masses. "My Year" was one of the first songs we worked on when we started the album and the order you hear them in is the order we made. It took a minute to get Dave's vocals because of his health. When we got them, We were so grateful and appreciative. He didn't have to do the song, but he came through & that the world to me, he explains. "I met Rasheed through Kenny Dope. When I heard him, I automatically wanted to work with him, so when we put the blueprint together for the song, I knew he would fit perfectly." We could not agree with Mr. Walt, the track is incredible.
