New Underground Hip Hop Album "Urban Testimony" released today by Brooklyn's Justo the MC & producer Brelstaff
Released
today through New Dawn Records, the new album "Urban Testimony" by
Justo the MC and Edinburgh lofi hip hop producer Brelstaff.
The
entire theme is documented in a deeply personal narrative depicting
events during and after the Brooklyn rapper's curtailed and troubled
time studying at Clark Atlanta University. Details unfold of a
conflicted mind on a potential escape route to academia staring rapidly
on a hedonistic path and the consequences incurred. While regrets are
clear, the spirit of resilience prevails. Emerging scathed but
undaunted and emboldened by second chances, the final scenes present a
renewed sense of optimism for the future with lessons duly learned.
A
fascinating and brutally honest account is relayed through trademark
slick rhymes and deft lyricism, the art of storytelling set to a
suitably atmospheric soundtrack provided by Brelstaff's blend of soulful
chilled lofi hip hop beats and ambient electronica. Essential
listening.
Justo
will be performing tracks from the album on Saturday November 18th at
Deep Dive in Ithaca as a special guest of Anthony Kannon and Frost
Gamble for their "Cautionary Tales" album launch event.
There is also an official video for every track on a special playlist published on the label's Youtube channel
