Chuck D and John Densmore Album “do+pe = no country for old men” NOW STREAMING
The genre and era-defying collaboration between John Densmore and Chuck D, “do+pe = no country for old men,” is no available for streaming.
The album was previously only available as a limited-edition vinyl in a special oxblood docs transparent high-melt pressing, housed in a deluxe gatefold featuring artwork by Chuck D. The video for the album’s first single (and Record Store Day Song of the Year), “every tick tick tick,” also features Chuck’s original illustrations.
After first meeting at a Record Store Day event in Hollywood’s iconic Amoeba Records in 2014, the two spent the following years volleying lyrics and music back and forth. The result is a collection of songs that brings the driving beat of rock together with the rhythmic urgency of hip-hop. “do+pe = no country for old men” is part spoken word and part social commentary, rock n’ rap built around the concept that “everybody gets older, but not everybody gets elder,” a lyric that evolved into the thematic core of the album.
