	Latest Single From Upcoming Album Pays Homage To Hip-Hop Culture

The Video: On March 6th, Pep Love will release his long-awaited sophomore solo album, *Rigmarole. The album, being released through the Hiero Imperium label that Pep was instrumental in co-founding, is Pep's first official album in 11 years, and is a deeply personal project, one that often deals with the trying times Pep went through as he figured out where music and life were taking him. Pep's latest single and video, "Hip-Hop, My Friend,"* plays directly to that sentiment. Featuring a funky guitar riff throughout, along with scattered, triumphant horns and soulful crooning vocals, "Hip Hop, My Friend" is the perfect backdrop for Pep Love's intricate tale of his long lasting companionship with the music he views as confidant. And while Pep certainly isn't the first rapper to write an open letter to hip-hop, he keeps it refreshing by focusing on the positives that hip-hop music and culture have provided him over the years, and particularly in trying times. Pep Love's new album, Rigmarole, will be released March 6th via Hiero Imperium.

The Background: Pep Love, part of the legendary Hieroglyphics crew, is one of the most esteemed veterans of independent West Coast hip-hop. It's been 11 long years since Pep Love has released his critically-acclaimed album, Ascension, which took seven years to create. Since then, Pep has toured with his Hiero brethren, Souls of Mischief and Casual, nationally for 2011’s Rock The Bells Festival. Now, Pep is back with his official solo album, Rigmarole. With Rigmarole, Pep has set up the perfect wake-up call to new and old fans alike and he seeks to galvanize like-minded artists to rise again. With 17 tracks, no filler, Pep provides a lot of material to take in but after one listen, you'll see that it was well worth the wait. Rigmarole is set for release on March 6th, 2012 via Hiero Imperium.
