After announcing his first new album in 14 years, Cross Off Matthew, out Friday 23 October via Run For Cover Records/Civilians, cult rapper GDP has shared the album's latest single, 'Seroquel', and announced an Australian tour.

Following lead track 'Island In The Sky', the New Jersey MC's latest is a moody, boom bap sampling throwback stream of consciousness.

"This was another one of those songs that sort of wrote itself, which is always the goal but not always the reality," explailns GDP. "Conceptually, it is but a glimpse into some of the thoughts that pass in between my ears when I walk through the world. Questions with no logical answer. The bitter but sweet, funny but sad, ironies of the human condition.

"I made the beat on a train from Osaka to Kyoto and couldn't hear what I was doing very well but when I got to my hotel room, I was pleasantly surprised. The music video was loosely inspired by an old Robert Frank short film and more generally, the turbulent synchronicity of New York streets. The visual jazz. I wanted to freeze frame a tiny sliver of the dance and pay homage to the everyday heroes, the myriad of strangers who act as the paint on the city's turbid canvas. An abundance so overwhelming, you might miss it you don't take a moment to stop and look around."

Cross Off Matthew is the first proper GDP album since 2013's Holla and examines vices, interpersonal relationships, late-stage capitalism and the difficulties of trying to live a creative life in the current world.

"I'm older, arguably wiser, but that creative fire stayed with me," GDP says. "I wanted to make something that felt nuanced, something that I could feel proud of."

To celebrate the release of Cross Off Matthew, GDP is embarking on an Australian tour with special guests Slim Krusty and This Is A Robbery.

The tour gets underway in Tassie with shows at Hobart's Grinners on Thursday 12 November and Franklin's House Show on Monday 16 November. GDP then hits Ancient World in Adelaide on Thursday 19 November and Melbourne's Old Bar on Friday 20 November, before a special yet-to-be-announced gig on Saturday 21 November. The tour resumes in Brisbane at PFR Lounge on Tuesday 24 November, followed by dates at Toowoomba's Bone Idol on Wednesday 25 November, Gold Coast's Vinnies on Thursday 26 November and Sydney's Enmore on Friday 27 November, wrapping up in Mount Gambier at The Pantry on Sunday 29 November.

Emerging in the late 2000s/early 2010s with a slew of DIY hip hop releases inspired by punk and skateboarding, GDP shifted focus to photography, film, publishing and even global health work.

After getting back into rap last year with the ENDOCRINE, a collaborative album with Fatboi Sharif, GDP is excited for what's to come when Cross Off Matthew drops later this month.
