Height Keech Unleashes Fourth Project of 2017 POWER MISSION: SELECTED GUEST SPOTS Featuring Cuts with TOBACCO, Jumbled, Drew Scott & More (Cold Rhymes Records)



"This is POWER MISSIONS, a collection of Height guest spots from 2002-present featuring @maniacmeat, @DrewciferScott, @TheMahogany, @cexmang, @kingrhythm, @emceeineye, @NapalmDef, @mickeymistakes, + more," @HeightKeech wrote within a recent Tweet self-promoting POWER MISSIONS: SELECTED GUEST SPOTS. POWER MISSIONS marks the fourth Height release of 2017 on his Cold Rhymes Records imprint, following self-produced album MIND MOVES THE MOINTAIN, Shark Tank's Height-produced Dan's House, and ialive & Height's collaborative TIMEWAVE ZERO album, as well as Height-compiled We Can't Go Back Now: The Cold Rhymes Collection from prolific oddball rapper-producer Jack Topht. POWER MISSIONS: SELECTED GUEST SPOTS consists of hand-selected Height features recorded and (un)released from 2002-17 with the likes of Grand Buffet, TOBACCO, Drew Scott, AK Slaughter, PT Burnem, Bow n' Arrow AKA Mickey Free, Emceein' Eye of Speak N' Eye, Bow n' Height & Cex, Jumbled, and King Rhythm. In addition to the more well-known tracks from the dusty corners of Height Keech's storied discography, POWER MISSIONS also showcases a few choice cuts that have been previously unreleased up until this point, but I'll let Height get into those down below with his quick, yet thorough album breakdown. POWER MISSIONS: SELECTED GUEST SPOTS is now available to stream or download on Cold Rhymes Records' Bandcamp and will likely be the first volume in an on-going, career-spanning series.
