Summer’s over. School’s in session. Fall’s in full effect and Terrace Martin’s long-awaited follow up to Locke High, Locke High 2, is upon us. In collaboration with DJ Drama and Devi Dev the LP features a melting pod of dynamic young artists, such as Compton’s own; Good Kid in a Mad City, Kendrick Lamar, the exuberant yet seasoned, Wiz Khalifa and the infectious crooner TY$ just to name a few.
With Locke High 2, Terrace created a hard-driving hip hop production with the acutely distinctive jazz riffs he is known for. The full-length effort also showcases several new cast members, a few recognizable guest producers, and last but not least, Terrace’s musical as well as lyrical prowess in abundance.
The first official leak off of the album is the aptly titled “Lithium”, a partnered production involving Terrace’s lush instrumentation and rhymes over a Wyldfire beat, features vocal talents from a new artists, Britney Barbara and AB, as well as a standout verse from Top Dawg Entertainment’s Top Aficionado, Punch. Locke High 2 drops October 25th, 2011.
