The Roots emcee Black Thought allegedly has a brand new supergroup in the works featuring an all-star roster.
According to a recent interview with The Crate 808 Hip Hop Podcast, the project's working title is Dopamine, and it includes the likes of Elvis Costello, Nathaniel Rateliff, T Bone Burnett and more.
“[DJ Premier] and I formed sort of a supergroup with T Bone Burnett and Elvis Costello and Cassandra Wilson, just a really sort of unusual, motley crew of sorts," Black Thought explained. "It’s weird how the songs sort of come to be, but we come up with some stuff that’s essentially live instrumentation, and Premier is right there and he sort of takes it and chops it up, and we’ve been working in that capacity. I’ve got lots of stuff that Premier and I have recorded in the past year or so.”
Black Thought and The Roots previously collaborated with Costello on the acclaimed 2013 album Wise Up Ghost.
