When the “Iron City” links up with Los Angeles no weak emcees are safe! Dropping today is Iron Angeles , the eleven track LP that combines Reagan Era Records lynchpin Dios Negasi on rhymes with production from Pittsburgh’s Tone Fultz .

As the producer states “though the Steel City is a cloudy and dark place and Los Angeles is known for its sunny weather, the two have a long history of creating legendary music together including Mel-Man and Sam Sneed’s work with Dr. Dre and Bud’Da’s producing ‘Bow Down’ for Westside Connection.” This extends to the album voice-over which makes the project feel like a long-lost blaxploitation action flick of the grimiest proportions.
