East 25th Street by Son Brave

 


Son Brave is an enigmatic soul with a mastery of language that garners attention and respect. His award winning work documents the critical moments, culture and people that define areas and that is no different with his newest album, "EAST 25TH STREET".
The turmoil of the 2020 Pandemic forced a hard reboot on many different aspects of our lives. This, coupled with the cognitive dissonance of a past left behind, led to the creation of “EAST 25TH STREET” - a hard hitting journey that draws inspiration from classic albums such as Billy Joel's 52nd Street as much as it does Hip Hop.
“EAST 25TH STREET” serves to document the historic moments of the past years with deep, reflective cuts such as “On The Block Again” and “Lifecheck” balanced against the optimism of a “Daily W” or the almost hedonistic release of “Pourin’ Cupz”. The production, handled by Mydus, Roland Jones and TORIAN, blends Boom Bap, Phonk and even Baltimore Club music to create a time capsule with Son Brave's slice of Baltimore that is worth hearing in any age.
