The Pen

from Legendary by K-otix

supported by

  • Limited Edition 12" Vinyl LP
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    We're happy to announce the release of the new project from K-OTIX - "Legendary"! You can order it right from this page. $30 for your choice of color vinyl, digital download, a 11" x 17" poster, and a sticker.

    In case you've been wondering what the crew has been up to since Universal dropped, here goes: They jumped into about 3 world tours to promote the album. The ARE dropped Hustler's Theme while Big Mon and Damien came with The Black Album. Then they teamed up with Kay of the Foundation for Ethos. Then The ARE started producing for Keyshia Cole, Lil Kim and LL Cool J, to name a few. Mon and D brought 48 Seasons to life, along with the internet-breaking "George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People". The ARE kept producing for people that you know, then released his Here, My Dear album flip to show you that he still got it. Damien got his hands dirty working with H.I.S.D., Radio Galaxy, and Kashmere Don (aka D Rose). The latter even resulted in a collaboration called RandleRose.

    Which brings us back to Legendary. At some point a couple of years ago, they slowed down time long enough to begin putting together the long-awaited OG trio follow up to Universal.

    The cover was custom crafted by the extremely talented Houston based mixed media artist and painter Santos Guerrero. We're even offering the vinyl in 2 colors, because no buying decision should be that easy. If you can't decide, just get both. Of course, the download is included in the price. You wanna keep the wax clean, right?

    We're only doing 300 pieces. And if recent history has taught us anything, it's going to go FAST. Thanks in advance for supporting this project, and thanks for rocking with KO for nearly a quarter of a century.
