New York lyricists Nejma Nefertiti and Double A.B. team up with producer Dub Sonata for a conceptual project titled Animal Barz. Each song on the thematic album details the intricacies of a different animal. First conceived as a 5-track EP, the trio expanded the concept into a full length LP to portray creatures such as Elephants, Sharks, and Butterflies among others — each depicted in the cover artwork designed by Nadeneco. The lead single Pigeons reverently pays homage to T.O.N.Y., the timeless anthem by esteemed rap duo Capone-N-Noreaga, and utilizes the symbolic imagery of the pigeon — the unofficial mascot of New York City — to capture the essence of NYC Hip Hop and its cultural legacy. Animal Barz features guest appearances from prolific French-American emcee Napoleon Da Legend, esteemed Minneapolis lyricist Muja, and scratches on all tracks by Tone Spliff. The LP is now available on limited edition vinyl, and additionally, bundled with a CD 6-pack that includes the Animal Barz pt. 1 EP, plus 5 additional previously-released albums from Nejma, A.B. and Dub. Each purchase includes the digital Deluxe version of Animal Barz, which includes all 10 instrumentals — exclusively available here on Bandcamp, and nowhere else. credits releases November 15, 2024 Written and performed by Nejma Nefertiti & Double A.B.
