Anyone who finishes Curtis Hanson’s Oscar-winning 2002 film 8 Mile thinks the same thing: Man, I want to record a hip-hop album. Apparently Geoff Barrow owns that DVD. On April 9th, the Portishead multi-instrumentalist will enter the hip-hop genre with his Quakers project, issuing a self-titled, two-disc effort through Stones Throw Records, as Exclaim points out. No, we’re not making this up.

Under the moniker Fuzzface, Barrow has assembled a rag-tag crew that sports Portishead engineer Stuart Matthews, who will go by 7-Stu-7, and Aussie producer Katalyst (clearly, he already has a name). Outside of the trio, the 41-track effort will feature 35 contributors, which include Guilty Simpson, Aloe Blacc, Dead Prez, Phat Kat, Princo Po, and more. Access Hip Hop also reports that the second disc will feature instrumental versions of the record, which brings the album’s tracklist to an awe-inspiring 82 count. It should be noted that Barrow lifted some of his score for Banksy’s 2010 film, Exit Through the Gift Shop, for this project, too.

So, it’s not a fourth LP by Portishead, but you can’t say you weren’t surprised. Check out the tracklist below, and then stand in front of a mirror for a second screaming, “This is not reality! This is not reality! This is not reality!”
