Classified Leaves The Industry To Go Hitch Hikin'

Halifax-bred hip-hop artist Classified has completed his 11th album in 11 years, and Hitch Hikin' Music will be released via Urbnet on Sept. 12.

The new disc is packed with 17 Classified-produced tracks and features guest appearances by Maestro Fresh Wes, Tash from Tha Liks, Jay Bizzy, Jordan Croucher and J-Bru.
