“They’re twins, fraternal twins — not identical, but they will talk to each other,” Chuck said. “The statement with these albums isn’t so much just within the content but in the audacity of the release, just like, ‘What the hell? Two albums that bookend the summer? What the hell?!’ But we know we’ve got a fan base that’s kind of acclimated and used to albums because we were the first to come along and kind of bring a concept album to the Hip Hop marketplace. So we oblige this year by doing not one, but two.”
