I gave Diz a shout to see what he was feeling about the new material. His words:
“For me “The Return EP” is the exact way we’re feeling right now…a smile and a middle finger. This is for the fans to rock…

After linking up with the production duo, Somehow At Sea, Lateef released this new mixtape in preparation for his new album FIREWIRE dropping 11.8.11. The mixtape has a great blend of electro-pop, funk, hip hop, and rock-solid bars that Lateef has been bringing for last 2 decades. I hadn’t heard Somehow At Sea before, but I have a feeling I’m going to be hearing a lot more from them.

Here’s what Lateef has to say on the project:
“The “Truth at Sea” mixtape is one of the riskiest mixtapes I’ve done. Part Hip-hop, part electronic, part crazy, it has some of my most spitfire verses to date as well as some of my most experimental singing song-writer stuff. Produced entirely by Somehow at Sea and featuring a small, handpicked group of guests, I’m very proud of the finished product.”

“95% of what I’m spitting is the truth/ other 5% is story telling, but
shoot/ I’m a real MC and that’s what MC’s do.”- Clif Soulo
He’s from Oakland, a place where you’re either a gangster rapper or a
revolutionary messenger; He’s neither. Instead, he’s a traditional MC.
No.
He’s not a “traditional MC” because of his wordplay, his delivery, or
his references back to the golden era of hip-hop.
No.
Clif Soulo isn’t even a traditional MC because he has tried his hand
at all of the elements of Hip-Hop, only to realize that being an MC is
his calling.
No.
Clif Soulo is a traditional MC because he is pursuing his dreams. read more …
