Now the duo is looking ahead to a bigger event. 42 Buck$ is set to release a new album called “The 5th Story,” with a release party planned for Aug. 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the Arcata Playhouse, according to a flyer and tip submitted to the Redheaded Blackbelt.

The brothers have spent recent months writing songs and performing around Humboldt County, building a following through their radio show and live appearances at schools and community events. Organizers are billing the Aug. 22 release party as a chance to support local hip-hop and encourage young people to get involved in music.

Ticket information and further details on the release party are expected to be announced closer to the date.
