Columbus, Ohio emcee and featured HipHopDX blogger Copywrite announced today, that he has a number of projects in the works for the new year. The former Weathermen member will kick off his year with a digital release of an EP. of all new material.

Two months later, in June of this year, Copywrite will be re-releasing The High Exhaulted. The eight anniversary of the original work, with production from RJD2 and the late Camu Tao. The project, originally release on the now-defunct Eastern Conference Records, will be a digital and physical format, with two new songs. The emcee also revealed to HipHopDX that he will be producing a new video to "June" , from the celebrated 2003 underground Hip Hop release.

Copy said to DX, comparing his art now to the debut album, "I just try to treat each beat individually and custom craft the lyrics accordingly to fit each song but when the production is right, everything else falls into place. Artistically, I'm in my clearest, hungriest, most focused stage."

The EP and re-release will ultimately serve as promotion to the Man Bites Dog Records release, sophomore full length album, due this September. Titled The Life And Times Of Peter Nelson, Copy did confirm that production will be handled by RJD2, Camu Tao, J-Zone , Marco Polo, The Kickdrums and former DX blogger Illmind . The release will be released physically and digitally through Traffic Entertainment.

Speaking of Camu Tao, Copywrite announced that his original crew, MHz, will be reuniting to record a whole new album named after the government of its late member. Tero Smith will find Copywrite, Jakki Da Mota Mouth, Tage and RJD2 making a group effort for the first time since 2001's Table Scraps album, a rare release on NCIS Records, that apparently will also soon be re-released. The group will share the production duties on the Man Bites Dog release.

The new album from MHz is due in 2010..

Flowing along with his debut title, Copy told DX about his career point now. "I'm just trying to walk in my own footsteps and walk alongside the greats like [Notorious B.I.G.], Emimem, Jay-Z , Big L, [Big] Pun and Jadakiss, plus shit on the 'high exhaulted.'"
