For their latest single, Wilmington, NC based underground hip hop collective MindsOne have teamed with MentPlus and DJ Noumenon. "The Way Back/Guiding Light" is a combination of two singles that flow together perfectly into one musical unit. This single is perfect for fans of both old school hip hop and modern underground hip hop. If you love artists like MF Doom, Gang Starr, Atmosphere, and Sage Francis, MindsOne are for you. It's hip hop without even a shred of R&B or pop music, melding the periods of late 80's hip hop and modern hip hop into one fantastic sound.
MindsOne say of their upcoming album:
"This is the album we’ve always wanted to produce, but didn’t have the inspiration, experience, or resources at the time to accomplish. Times are different now, and it’s been empowering to see it all come to life like we had imagined. That being said, we may be older and wiser, but we are still aware enough to know that we don’t know shit."
