Pitchfork: Oh No Teams With Galt MacDermot

I'm still not sure who John Galt is, but I do know that Stones Throw producer and MC Oh No's new album is based on samples of the music of Galt MacDermot, the man behind the musical Hair. I also know that Oh No and Stones Throw are teaming up with eMusic to release a song from the album as the website's first "digital-only 12-inch single."

"Gets Mine"-- from the upcoming Exodus Into Unheard Rhythms LP-- features Buckshot and is currently available for free (even for non-subscribers!) from eMusic.

While the "12-inch" part of the "digital-only 12-inch single" label is a little misleading, Stones Throw and eMusic consider the single, like past Stones Throw 12-inches on vinyl, to be of particular use to DJs. In a press release, Stones Throw founder Peanut Butter Wolf is quoted as saying, "I'm glad we're now able to release stuff digitally as soon as it's recorded. As a DJ myself, it gives me the opportunity to put together sets on a whim."

"Gets Mine" will continue to be featured as an exclusive free download (along with B-side "T. Biggums", featuring Dudley Perkins and Georgia Anne Muldrow) until Exodus Into Unheard Rhythms is released August 8. Oh No's MacDermot-heavy full-length features guest spots from Posdnous (De La Soul), Vast Aire, and Murs, among others, and the tracklist is as follows.
