“Synthetic Love” is a re-release off of Special’s 2012 LP, Special Ingredient.

Underground hip-hop artist Special returns with a re-release of a track off his solo effort Special Ingredient, which was released in 2012. Produced by XXX productions, and featuring Toronto-based singer Oriana, this west coast g-funk infused joint has that 90’s feeling the game is definitely missing. In the spirit of artistic collaboration, the cover artwork, which will be available as a limited edition large format print, was created by Georgia based visual-artist Anna Modosiani.

4th Quarter is the duo of Newark’s Internal Quest and Toronto’s Special. After releasing their Engineered to Win EP last year they’ve dropped their first track of 2013, “I Got,” produced by Internal Quest.

The duo of Special and Internal Quest are back in action. Special, fresh of his solo “Special Ingredient” EP release, which featured Sadat X and Craig G (from the Juice Crew), and Internal Quest who has a project called “Ideology” dropping March 13th, have formed “Voltron” once again and taking heads on a hip-hop ride they won’t forget. With a powerful hook, and heavy production from Internal Quest himself, “I Got” is a worthy appetizer to their upcoming 4th Quarter release.

The project features guest verses from Juice Crew Alumni Craig G (Fresh off the release of his Ramblings of an Angry Old Man project) and the great Sadat X of Brand Nubian/Wild Cowboys fame. The collection of songs range from gritty 90’s hip-hop to g-funk. Special isn’t out for the crown, but rather to make a solid contribution to the genre that raised him into the man he is today.
