ON JUNE 25, G-DO & XCEPTION WILL RELEASE THEIR FOURTH FULL LENGTH ALBUM ‘THE OTHERSIDE’ ON GOAL! RECORDS. THIS ALBUM IS THE OFFICIAL FOLLOW UP TO THEIR CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED 2011 ALBUM SANKOFA. THE OTHERSIDE WILL FEATURE NAMIBIAN SOUL STAR AND FELLOW GOAL MUSIC GROUP MEMBER SHISHANI, AS WELL AS OTHER MEMBERS OF THE GMG FAMILY CURRO NORIEGA, MODA, AND THE ALBUM IS MIXED BY MARK NIEUWENHUIS.

THE OTHERSIDE REPRESENTS THE DARK SIDE, A HIDDEN PART OF THE PSYCHE. THE GRITTY PART OF THE CITY, WHERE PEOPLE REJECTED BY SOCIETY ARE STRUGGLING TO MAKE IT. IT ALSO REPRESENTS THE OTHER SIDE OF G-DO & XCEPTION. MAINLY KNOWN FOR THEIR JAZZY, SOULFUL SONGS, THIS ALBUM MARKS A CLEAR BREAK FROM THEIR PREVIOUS WORK. MUSICALLY, IT IS REMINISCENT OF A RAW, LOW-FI, PSYCHEDELIC, 70’S B-MOVIE. IT ALSO MARKS THE FIRST G-DO & XCEPTION ALBUM WHERE G-DO MOSTLY PLAYS LIVE INSTRUMENTS INSTEAD OF USING SAMPLES. OVER THIS BACKDROP, XCEPTION DESCRIBES, IN VIVID DETAIL, TALES OF STRUGGLE AND TRIUMPH THROUGHOUT EVERYDAY LIFE, WHICH ALWAYS HAS A DARK SIDE.
