One of NYC’s most underrated rappers, Cormega, is getting set to release a collaborative LP with another New York legend, Large Professor, entitled Mega Philosophy. Today the Queens duo drops off “Industry,” the first release from the project.

Cormega and Large Professor teamed up for Mega Philosophy, a kind of manifesto on the music today and the wheres, whys, and hows of its significance. "Industry" in particular is a great lead-off to these themes, both praising the genre for its ascendant ethos and offering some criticism of its contradictions. H/t to Drew Millard at Noisey for putting the light on this.
