On May 10th, the man who single-handedly put Instrumental Hip Hop on the map with the critically acclaimed 1996's Endtroducing..., announced that his long-awaited new LP The Less You Know, the Better is completed and scheduled to drop in September. That same day he released a digital download of remixed tracks from TLYKTB, which will be the follow up to 2006's not-so-acclaimed and all over the place The Outsider. These tracks, released as I Gotta Rokk EP, mark yet another shift in his sound. Here's the music video for the title track of the EP. It's definitely missing the soul and bangin' mentality of his earlier work that changed the game for hip hop production, but stays true to his hip hop roots unlike The Outsider's frenetic set up.

Pick up the I Gotta Rock ep along with DJ Shadow's other releases here.
