A-Trak Fighting the Good Fight – Releasing Hip Hop Album in the fall:
The Montreal producer and DMC Champion is putting the final touches on a hip-hop compilation album to be released in the fall. Always a champion of the underground, A-Trak has recently spoken out against “the Hair Metal Soap Opera” that is EDM at the moment – challenging DJs and producers to challenge their audiences.
Action Bronson, Freeway that we’re bringing back, Main Attractions, Chuck Inglish from the Cool Kids, we even got some stuff that AraabMuzik produced. There’s a song that I did with Juicy J
Thanks alot A-Track! If you keep inspiring the underground to make interesting, progressive music, what the hell are we going to make fun of?!

But by then I fear the moment may have passed
