Update: 2nd Half 2009
By now I'm sure that everyone has heard of SpitBoss.com - the work-driven social network for hip hop professionals. Canibus has joined the site as a talent scout and it has largely become his HQ on the net. If you're looking for unreleased Canibus tracks, he has an entire extended playlist available on there for those who have a third ear to hear it.
I'm not sure if I'm really supposed to link to unreleased music but if you haven't heard "Lunar Deluge" yet then I can't let you suffer any longer without it. Canibus lays down a psychonautical dreamscape that's set in a different plane of awareness. Don't forget your favorite green music enhancer then hit play below.
After the track ends and your waking state returns to its seat of consciousness, you can check out his other bangers at SpitBoss.com
The Undergods (Canibus and Keith Murray) EP has been released consisting of 7 tracks from their longer LP to be released soon. The Undergods is available for legal download from iTunes and Amazon, and probably elsewhere, so there's no excuse for not supporting real hip hop with your purchase. Price: $7
Here is a link to purchase on Amazon (no affiliation money in this link don't worry):

Canibus is working on many, many projects right now and I don't think anyone other than himself has total informational awareness over it all. Through SpitBoss he is dropping collab track after collab track. Here's a rundown of his major anticipated releases:
C of Tranquility
Rip the Jacker II Infinity
Undergods LP
Melatonin Magik (tentative release date 11/24/09)
TBA Project w/ Kool G Rap
Sharpshooters Project
More collabs
Canibus' 10,000 bar project, Rip the Jacker II Infinity is to be released soon but it's unknown which retail form this shape shifting monster will manifest itself as. 10,000 bars is many hours of music, which is intended to be chopped, mixed, and recreated similar to Poet Laureate Infinity. Will it be released on CD? Will it be download only? Time will tell.

A word from M80, A&R extraordinaire, on Melatonin Magik, Canibus' next big release:

QUOTE
"When asked about the title for the upcoming release, the Poet Laureate described Melatonin as the motivation and answer to the unwanted and negative effects of Canibus while providing that his presence and devastating lyrical prowess on the mic is the Magik or the cure hip-hop needs in order to sustain its integrity. Teaming up with independent upstart The War Lab alongside Koch/E1 for what is sure to be a renowned release full of off the wall lyricism, powerful production, and a few controversial surprises that fans will have to hear to believe, Canibus is ready to defy all odds and recapture the hearts of Hip-Hop Worldwide heads once again."
With a tentative production line-up featuring Wu-Tang alumni Bronze Nazareth and Mathematics, veterans Marco Polo and Sicknature of the Snowgoons, and newcomers Blastah Beatz and Godz Wrath alongside guest features from newcomer and lyrical heavyweight DZK, Legends Kool G Rap and Chino XL, and much more, "Melatonin Magik" will surely wet the palate of what all fans have come to expect and more throughout their favorite records of Canibus' extensive catalog."
