Some three weeks after sharing an album called Standing on the Corner: II<\/em>, Standing on the Corner<\/a> have announced SOTC (\u201cII\u201d)<\/em>, an album that is\u2026 similar but not the same, apparently. The original record, still on YouTube<\/a> following its surprise drop on the platform last month, featured cameos from Gang Starr<\/a>\u2019s Big Shug, Danny Brown<\/a>, Styles P<\/a>, and poet Sonia Sanchez, as Matthew Ritchie noted in Pitchfork\u2019s review<\/a>. Most of them are listed as collaborators on SOTC (\u201cII\u201d)<\/em>, though Big Shug is not named in the press release; Solange, however, is. The album is out September 11 via XL<\/a>. (The label declined to elaborate on differences between the records.) Listen to the single \u201cMr. Postman, Wait!\u201d below.<\/p>\n The YouTube upload was, Ritchie noted, a typically sample-heavy affair from the Brooklyn collective; a banal but reasonable assumption is that the confusing circumstances of the new release result from simple sample clearance issues. Bandleader Gio Escobar and his collaborators also enlisted the Warlockettes, Ladybug Mecca, Bubba Dupree, and Claudette Ortiz for the record. Check out the tracklist below.<\/p>\n An \u201cSOTC communiqu\u00e9\u201d in the press release reads, \u201cFor 8 years, I promised not to be angry either way it shook because I truly did believe. And to die would have been a sucker\u2019s dream, but this is a skull game chump and the past cannot help no man. To the hustlers of the world, if it is all luck, then it\u2019s got to end one day. It\u2019s ended\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n SOTC (\u201cII\u201d)<\/em>:
