As promised last week, here’s a more in-depth listen to the upcoming project from Finale, T.I.M.E.. The album will be released in the coming months through Japanese label, River City Media as well as sold at upcoming Finale shows on tour. To go along with the previous links, included in the post cast below are the majority of the rest of the album tracks, as well as some added collaborations thrown in for good measure.

All of this is meant to serve as a reminder that Finale’s debut solo album, A Pipe Dream And A Promise, is in stores today. The album features production from Dilla, Waajeed, Black Milk, Flying Lotus, TaRaach, Nottz, Oddisee, Kev Brown, Khrysis, M-Phazes, Apollo Brown, Slimkat78, Dimlite, and Vaughan T (Lab Techs), as well as appearances from Invincible and MonicaBlaire. In my personal opinion, A Pipe Dream is one of the most well thought-out and consistent rap albums to come out for a minute – so be sure to support that.

You can check the podcast tracklisting below, before either downloading or streaming it at the bottom of the post. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

For everyone who hit me up about the new Finale tracks from the Loose Joints unmixed-tape and asked for more – I got you. Fresh from Finale himself, we’ve got another pair of new tracks – “Jungle Music (All Day),” his take on Baltimore club/go-go music produced by Nick Tha 1da, and the introspective “Without You” produced by M-Phazes.

Finale also provided some insight on what inspired him to make the song: “A D.C. native told me they hated go-go and Baltimore club music. I’d been hearing the song on Nick’s page for about a week straight because the track is actually a tribute to DJ K-Swift (RIP). I asked him for the track and I think he thought I was crazy for picking that joint or either joking – LOL. So I told the chick from D.C. that if I rapped on a club/go-go joint I could make her start to dig that type of music again…so I was challenged to do it and when I sent it to her the next day she said she dug it….so there ya have it (Jungle Music) – LOL.”

Both “Jungle Music” and “Without You” are from an upcoming Finale mixtape of non-album exclusive tracks, which will be dropping in the coming months leading up to when his new album, A Pipe Dream & A Promise, is released in March. The album will feature appearances from Invincible, MonicaBlaire, and hip-hop pioneers, Awesome Dre & Prince Whippa Whip (Cold Crush) – not to mention one of the most impressive production line-up’s I’ve ever seen, consisting of: Dilla, Waajeed, Black Milk, Flying Lotus, Dabrye, TaRaach, Nottz, Oddisee, Kev Brown, Khrysis, M-Phazes, Apollo Brown, Slimkat 78, Dimlite, and Vaughan T (Lab Techs). Wow…. can we take a deep breath and read that list over one more time? ….DAMN!!!

To go along with “Jungle Music” – here’s a brand new video to the track put together by Your Brutha Brub of The B.Q. Happenings, who has all done videos for Finale’s “Motor Music,” J*DaVeY‘s “Lil Big Heads,” and more.

Check out the video below and then cop the two free downloads at the bottom. Also, stay tuned after the jump for bonus tracks highlighting 3 of Finale’s lesser known collaborations – including a track with Invincible from the Detroit Summer LAMP benefit compilation, an exclusive unreleased mix of his track with French producer, Dela, as well as an older track with UK producer Ghost that uses the “Welcome 2 Detroit” intro.
