Were you one of the many hip-hop heads excited to learn that Cannibal Ox had reunited for a tour and, even better, a new album? Well, then, you might be a prime candidate to make sure the follow-up to The Cold Vein can actually happen. The gritty Harlem duo just launched a Kickstarter with the goal of raising $30,000 by March 22. Their hope is to use the funds to pay for the creation of the album, subsequent music videos, and everything else that goes into properly releasing the LP.
One half of the duo, Vast Aire, had the following to say about the risks and challenges of this:
As we all know the creation of an album as well as touring doesn’t always go as planned. Fortunately I have been in this industry consistently for over 10 years and with my experience in dealing with production, touring, and recording I have learned how to avoid most potential setbacks. I have recently been accomplishing this on my own with no help from any management. My fans are extremely important to me as well as the completion of this project and will be in constant communication with my supporters/backers throughout this process should any challenges arise. I am confident if there should be any they will be seen through and fulfilled.

What about a taste of the Ox anno 2013?
