The Black Opera – Behold The Opera (Prod. by yU) (@TheBlackOpera)

The mysterious hiphop collective known as The Black Opera flexes their muscle on their latest single, Behold The Opera, from their upcoming fourth studio album, The Great Year. Producer yU (of Diamond District) provides a menacing backdrop driven by stiff high-hats , bass, and ominous operatic voice samples, as the two founding TBO members plunder weak emcees with bars chock-full of poignant and razor sharp rhymes. Between TBO’s previous off-kilter single, “No Water,” and their latest offering, the group highlights the diversity and singularity of “The Great Year,” officially declaring their “shift to a new era.”
