Just yesterday we were hit with the news that Obie is back at it and will be releasing a new album (entirely produced by MoSS) at the end of the year. Now it’s time to unleash the first single. Shouts to Dre on the premiere.

That’s right. On December 15th Obie will be making his return with his first official LP since his split with Shady Records.

With a very strong fanbase, a strong presence on commercial radio and having sold in excess of 1.5 million albums to date (including the certified Platinum Cheers), Special Reserve is a departure from Obie’s typical sound, as a wide range of gritty audio mosaics are provided by MoSS, as he continues to not only raise his profile, but the bar he’s set from his previous work with Raekwon, Ghostface, Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, AZ, Slum Village, Havoc, Kool G Rap, KRS-One/Buckshot etc. MoSS is also the first producer signed to the legendary DJ Premier’s “Works of Mart” production company.

Here’s Mr. Real Name No Gimmicks’ take on Old Blue Eyes’ classic cut. Bottoms Up is coming February 2010. Props to HitHipHop.

The dopehouse (along with the rest of the NMC) are very much known for dropping new exclusives on a daily hourly basis. But what about those lost gems that few to no people have heard? We need those in our lives just as much. Here goes an unreleased joint from 2001 that featured the late MC Breed & Proof rocking with Obie Trice. And be sure to look out for DJ Butter & Essman’s upcoming mixtape, Esspionage, dropping this fall. Music from the likes of Method Man, Proof, MC Breed, Melanie Rutherford, Esham, Sticky Fingaz and more.

Obie releases some visuals for his recent tribute to the late great Tupac Shakur.

Apologize for the lack of updates on my end. Took off yesterday to watch the Chi/Bos and Utah/LA games. Came home and passed out. Here’s a tribute to Tupac by Obie Trice.

In a remembrance of the classic from 2 Pac, Obie Trice felt Pac’s vibe so much just having a conversation in the studio with his homeboy Tuki (who sounds like Pac), that Obie decided to put it on a record. With all respect due to the realest whoever done it, Tupac Shakur, here is Obie Trice featuring Tuki on the hook, in “Krazy”
