Sims - "Sims Jong Il" - #LAAB Season 8

Sims - "Sims Jong Il" - #LAAB Season 8 Sims announces the release of Field Notes, a collection of 7 new tracks set for release on September 2nd through Doomtree Records. Following 2011’s critically acclaimed Bad Time Zoo LP, Field Notes finds the Minneapolis rapper in fine form, spitting poignant, razor-sharp lyrics over larger than life productions from Doomtree’s own Cecil Otter and Paper Tiger, as well as newcomers ICETEP and Plain Ole Arson (Ryan Olson x Plain Ole Bill). Field Notes is available for pre-order today on the Doomtree webstore and digitally via iTunes and Bandcamp. All pre-orders include the first single “Uh Huh” as an instant grat track.
