The Third Way (Hand On The Torch Vol II)

US3

A 14 track jazz rap/hip-hop album (54m 23s) — released October 14th 2013 on US3.COM

2013 marks the 20th anniversary of Us3's multi-million selling debut album "Hand On The Torch". In honour of that, the new Us3 album "The Third Way (Hand On The Torch Vol II)" marks a return to the classic Us3 sound, with 5 of the 14 tracks containing interpolations of a number of well-known jazz standards, including Dizzy Gillespie's "Manteca", Duke Ellington's "It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing", and Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder".

MC duties are taken by 3 former Us3 collaborators; Akil Dasan ("Schizophonic" & "Say What!?"), KCB ("Broadway & 52nd"), and Tukka ("Hand On The Torch"). A video for the lead track "Never Go Back" can be seen on the Us3videos channel on YouTube (from September 16th).
