Folk & Stress - The Box

Folk & Stress are two brothers from Long Island who were set to release a box-packaged album called The Box on Think Differently in 2010 in conjunction with NYC clothing store Alife. There was a single with GZA and a tracklist with features from Aesop Rock, Vast Aire, Blue, and Bronze Nazareth. But the album never dropped. All of this was very strange to me as I had rapped with Stress at a random block party in Wantagh years earlier. Folk was not at the party. As it happens, years later, Folk would resurface as one half of the Fool's Gold electro-pop duo Party Supplies and produce Action Bronson's Blue Chips albums. Anyway, as of 2021, vinyls and CDs are out via Black Stone of Mecca.
