Naturel – Momentus (Album)

by
AJ the Barber
Both musically-visual, and visually-musical, the multi-talented artist Naturel single handedly bridges the gap between the art and music worlds by utilizing his skill sets as a Fashion Designer, Illustrator, and Recording artist. Assembling his own production team, The Curators,Naturel enlisted the talents of producers; !llmind, Symbolyc One, Dilemma, Omen and more to provide the musical soundscape as he uses this platform to unveil his story both lyrically and visually. Live musicians; Russell Carter Jr., Josephine Marie, and The Big China Symphony infuse a heart-felt classical texture throughout the album that provides the perfect backdrop for Naturel to take stage in this momentous debut.

So ”Get Right or Get Left Behind.” -Gruvey E ;) Fuck What You Thought, And Fuck What You Heard.

Gilbere Forte’ – EYES of VERITAS (Mixtape)

by
AJ the Barber

I met the homey, Gilbere Forte’, a while ago while I was still cutting at Frank’s Chop Shop. You can view the previous post I made about him here.

Gilbere dropped this tape, Eyes of Veritas almost 2 weeks ago already.  So, I’m a little late here. But Better Late than Never, and  Better Sooner than Later.  This tape is Super Dope! Get up on it people! (pause)

I Fucks with the whole Mixtape, Front to Back. And it’s Rare that I Speak that Highly of a Mixtape or an Emcee/Rapper nowadays….

I particularly like the tracks “Born in ’87″,  ”The Exports”, ”Ballot or the Bullet”, and “Three Words”.
