After collaborative projects with Jedi Mind Tricks' Vinnie Paz (Heavy Metal Kings) and Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs, (Kill Devil Hills) this is Bill's first completely solo outing since 2008's acclaimed Hour of Reprisal.

Before that, La Coka Nostra has Masters of The Dark Arts planned for spring, 2012 release. Earlier this week, they released a video from that album, "Malverde Market."
