OK here's the tracklisting to "Black August Revisited":

1. Intro (ft. Rudy) (Produced by Kallisto)
2. Big World (Produced by Javon)
3. Greatest Lesson (Produced by Jahson)
4. The Last Supper (Produced by Just Blaze)
5. Time (ft. Dreddy Kruger & Savoy) (Produced by G-13)
6. Movie (Produced by Jahson)
7. Mind As A Weapon (ft. Hell Razah) (Produced by 4th Disciple)
8. Street Opera (ft. Hell Razah) (Produced by 4th Disciple)
9. Do The Damn Thing (Remix) (ft. Ol' Dirty Bastard) (Produced by Mr. Khaliyl)
10. Turn Around (Produced by Full Moon (Arash))
11. Vengeance (ft. Ras Kass) (Produced by Jahson)
12. Militant (ft. Kurupt) (Produced by John Shapiro)
13. The Rain (ft. Main Flow) (Produced by Tiny)
14. People (Produced by Kallisto)
15. Genesis (Produced by Killah Priest) [Bonus Track]

Judging by the songs I'd say it's a mix of leftover cuts from "Black August" and "Heavy Mental" and possibly "View From Masada" as well. The final song "Genesis" is very likely to be in the same tradition as "Heavy Mental"/"Temple of the Mental"/"Places Where Pharoahs Go".

According to Dreddy Kruger, the CD itself is actually a collection of songs which contain samples or beats which KP's various labels did not want to pay for. "Black August Revisited" is executively produced and arranged by Dreddy himself. He is making available at HipHopSite.com only (not sure when just yet) with a limited edition poster included. No skits, or DJ babblings etc. and it's packaged like a major label album so think "professional".

Dreddy's also got some Masta Killa "for DJ's only" T-shirts which I assume will also be sold via HipHopSite.com. I'll keep you posted on this.

RZA's first song (presumably from his new album) will be called "Gritz" featuring Masta Killa. The pair have just shot the video for the song also.

Masta Killa will drop his next single "Queen/Silverbacks" featuring GZA and Deck respectively in November. Both tracks are produced by True Master. MK's long awaited solo is still slated for a January 2004 release.

By the way, click here for the back cover art for "Black August Revisted".

It would appear that Killah Priest has yet another album due out. Well sort of... It's called "Black August Revisited" and will feature unreleased exclusives which did not make the final cut first time round. Check the exclusive cover art here.

I will post the inside cover and a tracklisting to this soon.

I also have some new improved/alternate cover art to the Masta Killa/J-Love mix CD "No Said Date", which you can find in the Image Gallery: Misc. Album Covers section.
