The first single from Scroobius Pip‘s solo album Distraction Pieces on his own Speech Development label features vocals from like-minded North American rappers P.O.S. and Sage Francis, has a raucous sound and is said to represent the album pretty effectively.

Distraction Pieces features contributions from Renholder (aka Danny Lohner NIN / A Perfect Circle), Richard Russell (XL), Steve Mason, Sage Francis, P.O.S. Zane Lowe, B Dolan and Aupheus.

Meanwhile Pip plays support to B. Dolan alongside Buddy Peace in Whelan’s, Dublin on September 17th. Tickets are €14.50 plus fees.
