Van Buren’s new album Bad for Press is about to get some really great press, starting on the digital pages of Vanyaland. Released today (April 16), the record is a momentous occasion for the Brockton-based rap collective: It marks the first time they’ve ever made an album under one name, with every single member present. After countless collaborations across singles, music videos, and mixtapes, the 13-track project melds nine minds into a singular, thundering voice without sacrificing an ounce of individuality. That’s news that deserves to be above the fold.
Hear the new tunes from Jiles, Lord Felix, Saint Lyor, Luke Bar$, Ricky Felix, Andrew Regis, Meech, R. Louie, and Kiron below.
