NEW ALBUM 'PAST TIME' out April 1
Producer & emcee duo D'Opus & Roshambo have teamed up again to bring out their long-awaited second LP 'Past Time', which includes the promotional single 'Come Find Out' (featuring Chanel Cole).
The album will be release on 1 April on Mercury Switch Lab through Inertia.
The duo have drawn from a pool of Australian artists to collaborate on songs throughout 'Past TIme', with Muph (Muph & Plutonic), Dialectrix and Mdusu just a few who contribute their verses to the album. Chanel Cole, member of Trip Hop group Spook, provides her unique voice on the tracks 'Bring Happiness' and 'Come Find Out'.
Nearly three years on since their last album 'The Switch', the duo describe the evolution of themes on 'Past Time':
"'The Switch' was, for the most part, a kind of story-telling record, soaked in the experience of melancholy, the darkness of regret, and of disappointment in self. This album [Past Time] is drenched in feelings of relief, happiness, contentment, excitement and opportunity. It is a record about moving on and traveling to a brighter future."
After playing at last year's Foreshore Festival in Canberra alongside acts such as Cut Copy and Calvin Harris, the group supported Evidence (Dilated Peoples).
With 'Past TIme', D'Opus & Roshambo are sure to keep their reputation for high quality hip-hop.
