Statik Selektah "The Balancing Act" (Album Stream)


Renowned DJ and producer Statik Selektah's ninth solo studio album, The Balancing Act, has an array of star-studded features, including Nas, Dave East, Method Man, Joey Bada$$, Black Thought, Bun B, Killer Mike, Benny the Butcher, Conway the Machine, Evidence, Blu, Lil Fame, Marlon Craft, Smoke DZA, Jadakiss, Styles P, Termanology, Rome Streetz, Havoc, the late/great Sean Price and many more. The album title is inspired by the way Statik balances his responsibilities as a father, as an artist, as a producer and as a DJ. I respect that! To execute his vision for the album cover, Statik enlisted famed designers Dom Dirtee and Tristan Eaton, whose work can be seen in the Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) and has been featured across the world from Paris to Shanghai. Earlier this year, XXL named Statik Selektah as one of the 48 Greatest Hip-Hop DJs of All-Time. Statik is one of the hardest working artists I know, and someone who always upholds a high standard for quality releases. Keep leveling up on 'em, Statik!
