New York lyricists Nejma Nefertiti and Double A.B. team up with producer Dub Sonata for a conceptual project titled Animal Barz. Each song on the thematic album details the intricacies of a different animal. First conceived as a 5-track EP, the trio expanded the concept into a full length LP to portray creatures such as Elephants, Sharks, and Butterflies among others each depicted in the cover artwork designed by Nadeneco.

The lead single Pigeons reverently pays homage to T.O.N.Y., the timeless anthem by esteemed rap duo Capone-N-Noreaga, and utilizes the symbolic imagery of the pigeon the unofficial mascot of New York City to capture the essence of NYC Hip Hop and its cultural legacy. Animal Barz features guest appearances from prolific French-American emcee Napoleon Da Legend, esteemed Minneapolis rapper Muja, and scratches on all tracks by Tone Spliff.
