Ipecac Recordings will release Precipice, a new full-length album and the eighth overall from hip-hop group Dälek, on April 29.
Along with the news of the record, the artist has shared the lead single, "Decimation (Dis Nation)," which we've posted below.
“Precipice was a completely different record pre-pandemic,” says MC Dälek (Will Brooks). “We had been working on the sketch of what the album was going to be at the end of 2019. I think me and (Mike) Manteca had narrowed it down to 17 joints out of the 46 or so that we had started with. Me and Joshua Booth had taken the 17 and really fleshed out the joints. The idea was to bounce them back to Mike and then arrange write lyrics. 2020 obviously had different plans for everybody. We basically put everything on hold. I ended up doing the MEDITATIONS series that year on my own. I think the catharsis of that projects, its rawness, the pandemic, all the death, the social upheaval, everything that went down… when I went back and listened to what we had down… it just wasn’t right anymore, it wasn’t strong enough, it wasn’t heavy enough, it wasn’t angry enough. It just didn’t say what I needed it to say.”
