DELUXEs COMING?!

New Deluxe Editions Drop Next Week: GOATs FLOCK and ANANSI Get Expanded Reissues

Music fans are gearing up for a major week as two of the year’s most talked-about releases get expanded deluxe editions. On Friday, December 19, 2025, both GOATs FLOCK and ANANSI return with deluxe iterations packed with four brand-new tracks each, remastered touches, and expanded creative vision.

GOATs FLOCK → GOATs FLOCK: GRAZE

After breaking through with its genre-bending blend of experimental hip-hop and alt-rap, GOATs FLOCK quickly became one of the most discussed projects of 2025. Now, the collective returns with GRAZE, a deluxe edition that reimagines the original album with four fresh cuts and enhanced production polish.

The GRAZE tracks dive deeper into the themes that defined GOATs FLOCK: identity, community, and resilience. Early previews hint at collaborations and sonic explorations that push the boundaries even further — layering soulful hooks with gritty lyricism and inventive soundscapes. Listeners can expect:

New lyrical perspectives that expand the album’s narrative arc
Broader instrumental palettes, from live instrumentation to avant-pop textures
Evolved storytelling, building on the hallmarks that made GOATs FLOCK a standout

GRAZE is poised to not only satisfy the original’s fanbase but also draw in new listeners looking for ambitious, boundary-stretching music.

ANANSI → ANANSI: The Ol’ Wise Tales

Meanwhile, ANANSI — already celebrated for its intricate fusion of folklore motifs and contemporary beats — returns in deluxe form as The Ol’ Wise Tales. The title itself hints at a deeper dive into storytelling and mythic influence, with four additional tracks that expand the world of ANANSI.

Where the original album used narrative songwriting and layered production to chart a journey through modern life and age-old wisdom, The Ol’ Wise Tales adds new chapters steeped in myth, metaphor, and musical adventure. Highlights fans are buzzing about include:

Tracks rooted in folklore and ancestral narrative
Darker, richer sonic textures, blending organic and electronic elements
Poetic lyricism that further blurs the line between story and song

With its mix of introspection and artistry, The Ol’ Wise Tales promises to be a compelling sequel to one of the year’s most imaginative projects.

Why These Deluxe Editions Matter

Deluxe editions have become more than just bonus content — they’re opportunities to expand a project’s life cycle and re-contextualize it as part of a broader creative journey. With GRAZE and The Ol’ Wise Tales, both GOATs FLOCK and ANANSI are doing just that: offering new dimensions of sound and story that reward both longtime fans and curious newcomers.

Whether it’s through GRAZE’s expanded emotional range or The Ol’ Wise Tales’ mythic depth, next week’s releases are setting the stage for a strong close to 2025 — and laying groundwork for what’s next in 2026.
