about

Released fall 1997 Cosmic & Aura of Jedi Knights Circle team up as 'Verbal Essence' to bring you the second album ever from JKC, "A New Hope"! This album was recorded on a Tascam Fourtrack and its gritty, but it was a landmark album for the crew at the time. We'd like to share it for the fans that bought the tape and need a digital copy and for our newer fans that might like to hear where we came from.

credits

released August 1, 1997

Features Cosmic and Aura on every track with a guest appearance from Optimus Rhymes on "Exploring" (the foreshadowing of the later released "Space Explores" featuring Optimus Rhymes, Cosmic and Aura). Album produced by Cosmic at Degobah System.
