Statik Selektah Enlists Talib, Styles P. Bun B. & More For 'Population Control'


By Roman Wolfe

Rapper/producer Statik Selektah has revealed details about his upcoming producer album titled Population Control, which will be released via his independently owned record label Showoff Entertainment, which is being distributed by legendary label, Duck Down Music.

Population Control, which features 18 tracks, contains a who's who in Hip-Hop music, with a wide variety of artists from across the country contributing to the release.

Artists like Bun B., Talib Kweli, Lil Fame of MOP, Styles P., Freddie Gibbs, Joell Ortiz, Pill, Sean Price, Reks, Jon Connor, Strong Arm Steady, Chace Infinite, Action Bronson, Dom Kennedy, Brother Ali, Saigon, Termanology and many others appear on the Population Control.

Statik Selektah produced every track on Population Control, which he said it is a departure from the sounds on his three previous production-based albums, 100 Proof, Stick 2 the Script, and Spell My Name Right.

"Every person I meet is a rapper, Dj, or makes beats," Statik Selektah told AllHipHop.com in a statement. "This is my way of saying who is legit from the new generation and I added a few of the OGs that still care about our music. This is a different sound from my previous albums. It's fresh and younger, but still very raw. I'm excited to show the older rap heads how dope some of the new guys are, as well as show some of the kids following the new guys how the OGs get down.

Population Control is due in stores on October 25th.

Statik Selectah will preview tracks on his weekly Sirius/XM Shade 45 Showoff radio show, which airs every Thursday from 8:00 PM till 12:00 AM.
