You did it, Devin (Happy 4/20)

We don't actually partake in the, um, festivities surrounding April's unholy holiday, but I think we can all celebrate with Devin the Dude on this glorious occasion. The humble, perma-blazed Houstonite whose made his name on a unique brand of smooth and humorous hip-hop has been waiting to put out an album on 4/20 for nearly 10 years. Today, with the release of Suite #420, it actually happened. Our friends at Vulture chatted with him about it:

Did you name your album Suite #420 after picking 4/20 as a release date, or was it the other way around?

It just came about because since the early 2000s I had wanted to put an album out on 4/20, and we tried to put one out in 2004, and we looked at the calendar and it didn't fall on a Tuesday. We realized 4/20 wouldn't be a Tuesday till 2010 and I said, "Man I don't know if I'll be rocking then," so I just kind of gave up on the idea. So it's a blessing that I could still be a part of hip-hop in 2010. I had to name the album that.
