Prepare yourself to embark on a sonic odyssey as CRIMEAPPLE and PRESERVATION unveil the inaugural chapter of their groundbreaking trilogy with "EL LEÓN". The album title, a nod to the undisputed king of the jungle, serves as a metaphorical beacon for the relentless hunger that the lyrical predator has always shown. On this audio hunting expedition, CRIMEAPPLE, the lyrical monarch, roars with an intensity that mirrors the ferocity of the lion over a wild musical tapestry provided by PRESERVATION, each track standing as a testament to the insatiable appetite and predatory instincts needed to navigate today’s wilderness. the music industry, a game neither artist has ever conformed to but has always dominated from the outside. CRIMEAPPLE has always proven himself to be a leader of the pride, with the tireless work he has put into his MANTECA imprint and with legendary collaborations with producers such as DJ Muggs and DJ Skizz that have made him one of the most prominent stars in the game today. On the production side, PRESERVATION’s musical journey, whether with his longtime collaborator Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def), or as one half of Dr. Yen Lo with Brooklyn wordsmith Ka, or through legendary collaborations with Billy Woods, MF DOOM, Roc Marci, RZA, Sean Price, Raekwon and countless others, has made him an iconic name in musical alchemy. As the trilogy begins, "EL LEÓN" marks the start of a new hunting season for both, where CRIMEAPPLE and PRESERVATION will certainly transcend boundaries and reign supreme.
