The other day I'm watching Sportscenter and they are doing their "Ultimate Highlight." The soundtrack for this week's highlights is "Shock and Awe" by Z-Trip f. Chuck D. I thought, that's nice, it must be on the new album. Say, when will that drop?

It dropped on April 19th. The album is called Shifting Gears and is on Hollywood Records. Apparently, the lead single, "Walking Dead" f. Linkin Park's Chet Bennington, has already cracked modern rock radio. While that's not a ringing endorsement, I still think I will be picking this up at the same time I pick up the DJ Spooky vs. Dave Lombardo disc.
