Via ATF. Thank Me Later May 25th!

Congrats to Eternia & MoSS! If you missed the story of how this release came to be, get caught up with their webisode series “Road To Release” here!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 31st, 2010 – Eternia & MoSS Announce Release Date “At Last”

ETERNIA & MOSS “AT LAST” WILL BE RELEASED JUNE 15th, 2010 ON FAT BEATS RECORDS

Produced entirely by MoSS, “At Last” features guest appearances from Joell Ortiz, Ras Kass, Termanology, Tona, Rage, Rah Digga, Jean Grae, Tiye Phoenix, Reef The Lost Cauze, Maestro Fresh Wes, and more.

In 2007, Eternia began recording her sophomore album with MoSS (a fellow Canadian), two years later the LP is complete and the title of the album says it all: At Last! Going where instinct took them, Eternia and MoSS’ collaborative union manifested into a sonically consistent album inspired by classic, boom-bap rap records (I.E. Ghostface Killah, Gangstarr, EPMD, Wu-Tang, & Nas).

MoSS is one of Hip-Hop’s fastest rising producers (see his work with Raekwon, Obie Trice, Ghostface, Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, AZ, Slum Village, Havoc, Kool G Rap, KRS-One, Buckshot etc) and the first producer signed to DJ Premier’s “Works Of Mart” production company—needless to say, the classic boom-bap aesthetic is a lane MoSS is more then comfortable in.
