Due for release on <strong>October 18th<\/strong> via <em>Metalface Records<\/em> and<em> Rhymesayers Entertainment<\/em>, the LP, which was executive produced by his longtime friend and collaborator <strong>MF DOOM<\/strong> before his passing and produced by <strong>Mono En Stereo<\/strong>, promises to be a mesmerizing blend of technical wizardry and personal introspection that substantiates the legacy he\u2019s long deserved.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Kurious flew down to Grenada and it was there that he played DOOM \u201cUnknown Species,\u201d the urgent track that now serves as the opening salvo on &#8220;Majician.&#8221; Over more trips to Grenada and eventually the United Kingdom, the LP took shape, two kindred spirits chipping away at a block of marble together.
