Double Dragon, rapper Fat Tony's sophomore album, hits the streets on June 1, with help from Tecla, Bun B, Murs and others. The disc will be released on the brand-new imprint Young One Records, based out of Brooklyn.
The youthful Young One label is an offshoot of Partisan Records, home to Deer Tick, Middle Brother and the Heartless Bastards.
The lead single off Dragon, "Bad Habits," features Bun B and Nick Diamonds from Islands and shows a new and lush side to Fat Tony, built on Diamonds's mangled chorus and some Prince-like synths. As the kids say, Bun kills his verse with his custom stealth.
You can hear it on the Complex blog.
Here is the track listing of Dragon. Expect to hear a boatload of this at his Summer Fest appearance. He's also playing Chaos In Tejas in Austin that week as well. If you saw Tony at SXSW, then you have heard "Denim Guinness Boys" and you know that it is, in fact, the shit.
