My man Kaya King sent me this one a long while back, but we decided to not post it on MS because it was new - not wanna risk the blog by posting brand new leaks.

But now it's 'aged' , it's time to put it online :) Great jazzy stuff from Japan, featuring some great artists as Black Thought, Talib Kweli, OC, Rakaa, Othello, Asheru and more!
You might know Cradle Orchestra of a remix they did for Nieve & Cook.

Also thanks to Chareso and some others (you know who you are) for the heads up about this one!
