NYC’s legendary hip-hop innovators Anti-Pop Consortium have shared stems & acapellas from “Reflections”, a cut off their brand new album “Fluorescent Black” (Big Dada). After five exploratory years apart, Beans, M. Sayyid, High Priest and Earl Blaize have re-joined forces to craft what may be their finest work yet.

ABOUT ANTI-POP CONSORTIUM
Anti-Pop Consortium is one of the most groundbreaking hip-hop groups of the past dozen years. Beans, High Priest, M. Sayyid and producer Earl Blaize met through poetry slams in New York City in the late 1990s, and the consortium was born out of a series of collaborative cassette releases on the collective’s Anti-Pop Recordings imprint. The group went on to release music on Dan the Automator’s experimental hip-hop label 75 Ark, and signed to Warp Records for 2002’s Arrhythmia. After a five-year hiatus to pursue other projects, APC reformed in 2007 to begin work on a new album, and to play shows with the likes of Public Enemy. Fluorescent Black, APC’s first proper album in seven years, was released this fall on Big Dada.
