It's gonna be June I'm telling ya......it's the way they've been doing it for yearz, I mean I not opposed to hearin it earlier, it just that in the span of well feb 18th till end of may they need to come with a title, then come up with a cover to suit said title,then they need to print/ press what 100,000 unitz? all that takes time. They know the schedule and thats the blue print they've followed for a millenia.They work well with that time frame so why fix something that ain't busticated? It's just like the sun rises in the east and setz in the west, the hip will release a new cd in June every other year.

Here's the past release dates according to thehip.com:

UTH - August 1989
RA - February, 1991
FC - October 1992
DFN - September 1994
TATH - May 1996
LBU - April 30th, 1997
PP - July 14, 1998
M@W - June 13th, 2000
IVL - June 11th, 2002 (this was announced on April 17th)

So as it doesn't look like every other year, the trend for the last couple albums is a June release. I kinda doubt anything earlier than that since we haven't heard anything from them but who knows.
