VAST AIRE LAUNCHES NEW VIDEO & PRODUCER COMPETITION

CANNABUL OX LEGEND VAST AIRE LAUNCHES NEW ALBUM
WITH THE RELEASE OF FIRST VIDEO & PRODUCER COMPETITION

A new exclusive freestyle accapella was recorded recently by Vast's affiliates Double A.B. and Kenyattah Black, both of whom appear on the new album. To coincide with the launch of the video, he has set up an exclusive producer competition, the winner of which will work with him on a brand new release.

The single Nomad, which drops 16th May, is taken from his 3rd solo album which features Cappadonna, Raekwon, Guilty Simpson and old Canibul Ox Sparring partner Vordul Mega, with production from J Zone, Kount Fif, Ayatollah, Thanos and Harry Fraud.

Since dropping the Cannabul Ox classic "The Cold Vein" with producer El-P on Def Jux in 2001, Vast has been involved with various projects. His debut solo album in 2004 "Look Mom....No Hands" featured MF Doom, Aesop and Sadat X with production from RJD2, Madlib, Blueprint and Da Beatminerz. The follow up "Deuces Wild" was named in XXL's Top Ten Albums of 2008.

He's featured on Aesop Rock's "NY Electric", Jean Grae's "Swing Blades and Wu Tang's "Slow Blues" and toured the world with Lauren Hill, Wu Tang, The Roots, Boot Camp Click and Black Star. He penned the new deal with Man Bites Dog / Fat Beats Records in 2010, and "Ox 2010 : A Street Odyssey" is full of the cerebral rhymes those accustomed to this New York "ghetto spokesman" would come to expect reinforcing his position as one of hiphop's most respected ambassadors.

Look out for the follow up single "Thor's Hammer" featuring Raekwon, some new exclusive tracks featuring UK & US artists and news of a UK and European tour in the autumn.
