Vast Aire, remember him? He’s the titan MC who shocked the world and conquered critics as the leader of Definitive Jux’s landmark upstart crew, Cannibal Ox; their essential 2002 debut, Cold Vein, was a chart-topper in nearly every smart music critic’s year-end poll.
After quickly following up his critically-acclaimed 2004 solo-debut, Look Mom…No Hands, with two Martial Arts inspired Way Of The Fist mixtapes and after a few years scratching his collaborative itch (2005’s The Best Damn Rap Show with High & Mighty’s DJ Mighty Mi and in 2007, Vast joined forces with Karniege under the pseudonym Mighty Joseph and released Empire State) Vast returns with his sophomore solo-LP, Dueces Wild, which will be released on June 24, 2008 on One Records.
In 2001 something happened that even transcended Philip K Dick’s imagination. The mighty Twin Towers, the biggest symbols of American economy went down and the world would never be the same. An album that visionarily (it came out before 9/11) expressed that feeling of uncertainty and apocalyptic doom-thinking was Cannibal Ox’s (Vast Aire and Vordul Mega) ‘The Cold Vein’. A few projects and solo endeavours later, Vast Aire is now back with Karniege to release the Mighty Joseph album, inspired on the King Kong theme, Both artists are headin for the top of NY, like King Kong was headin for the top of another American symbol, the Empire State Building…
You’re about to release ‘Mighty Joseph’ through Urchin Studios, please tell us more about that project…When is the release date?
It should be out by February 12th 2008, the project is on I.G.C. Rec/Urchin Studios. This is a dope LP, it’s just raw and fun hip-hop that needs to come to the forefront! Vast Aire is bringing that raw again!
