On the road to releasing his newest effort, The Less You Know, The Better, Bay-area producer Josh Davis, better known as DJ Shadow, has ironically already dropped 20% of the tracks off the September 27th release. Following the premieres of “I Gotta Rokk“, “I’ve Been Trying”, and “I’m Excited” across the blogosphere, plus a spot on the summer’s IDENTITY fest (watch the video below), Shadow is debuting yet another track early: “Stay The Course”.

First spun Monday evening during a guest appearance on Andy Rourke’s Jetlag show on East Village Radio, “Stay The Course” is a stripped down, old-school hip-hop instrumental that carefully contours the verses of featured emcees Talib Kweli and Plug One, aka Posdnuos of De La Soul. Check out the track via our friends at Some Kind of Awesome, and make sure to peep the album’s complete tracklist below.
