Kojaque announces deluxe edition of his latest album, PHANTOM OF THE AFTERS

“I wanted to make a Directors Cut of Phantom Of The Afters because there were a couple of songs that I loved that got left off the original project mainly because a vinyl can only hold about 45 minutes of music. All of the tunes feel like they sit in the same world so it felt right to release them as part of an alternative version of the album rather than saving them for a future project. They need to be Jackie Dandelion tunes," explains Kojaque.

"Releasing the record as an independent artist has been nerve wracking but the response has been crazy. I always imagined the "Ballad Of Jackie Dandelion" as being the intro to the record so to have that go viral without ever being released felt like vindication. Just feels good to have complete control over what I put out in the world, doing shit however I feel like doing it. Feels like I’ve gotten back to making art without worrying what people think, making it because it’s what I want to see in the world, even if what I make comes out a little grotesque. Fuck it, the best art is usually a little rough around the edges.”

A fully independent artist, Kojaque brought a star studded lineup of guests together on PHANTOM OF THE AFTERS: from Biig Piig, Charlotte Dos Santos and NYC rapper Wiki (who featured on "JOHNNY MCENROE") to Gotts Street Park ("BAMBI") plus production credits such as Calvin Valentine (Ryan Beaty), Tony Seltzer (Eartheater, Freddie Gibbs) and Karma Kid (Hak Baker, Shygirl).
