True School Lives!

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Dume41 Official Website) - What happened to conscious hip hop? When was the last time you heard an emcee spend time on a record encouraging the economic, political and intellectual growth of the people?
Producer and emcee Dume41 misses it too, which is why he couldn't turn his back on the true school boom bap aesthetic he grew up on. Enlisting the help of the 'Holy Ghost of Northwest Hip Hop' Specs One for two energetic appearances on the microphone and Seattle's own deck masters, The Elefaders for all turntable work, Dume releases his thirteen track opus, 'God Save The King' on December 1st, 2008.
Production is handled by Dume himself, with three tracks produced by long time collaborator Rok Soulo.

In keeping the guest appearances to a minimum, Dume leaves room to write coherent songs that consistently deliver topical content. The album, stocked full of grime , chopped phrases and moving melodies, will be available for purchase from Amazon.com and CDBaby.com for $12.99.

The first of single 'Lotus Throne' is available for free download at, soundclick.com , mp3.com, and garageband.com.

Dume41, who started crafting songs in 1990, is also working on projects With King Khazm (of 206 Zulu and Cyphalliance) and Giant Squid Beats. He produces, mixes and masters music and can be contacted at www.freshchoppedbeats.com.
