Loading ...Busy days for RJD2. Seems like the recent separation from his label and the forming of his personal imprint, Electrical Connections, gave him a serious energy boost.
To celebrate his new label, on October 20th, RJD2 released a box-set featuring Vinyl versions of ”Dead Ringer” LP, ”The Horror EP”, ”Since We Last Spoke” LP, and the exclusive ”Tin Foil Hat” EP including 7 unreleased RJD2 songs. Hand silk screen RJD2 poster, signed by the dude himself.

Take a breath, there’s more. RJD2 Official blog decided to prepare us for all of these events by launching a weekly section called “Monday Madness” with a chance to win rare items from RJD2’s private collection. This week you can download an unreleased song for free with a promise for giveaways from the upcoming album sooner or later.

And for dessert, in the recent edition of “Electric Independence”, Motherboard’s Jordan Redaelli pays RJD2 a home visit in Western Philadelphia and checks out his home studio. Don’t forget to try the “apple-raspberry cobbler a la mode”.
