West coast poet, rapper, and songwriter Propaganda drops the first single off his second Terraform EP
The Sky titled, “2:30.” The track situates Prop back to his poetic roots of poetry and spoken word excellence. Two minutes and thirty seconds embraces multiple cultural-driven definitions throughout the poem. The single is an experience expressed in Prop’s own words,
“You ever experience something that was so far above you and was gon’ happen whether you were there or not, yet it felt like the entirety of the cosmos conspired to show something about yourself?” One of my favorite aspects of it was the horns that dominated the production on the track as I love live instrumentation on hip-hop tracks.

Californian by heart, now a resident of Texas, Humble Beast’s Antoine Bradford delivers his debut album to the masses. His two previous EPs released,
Dear Struggling Christian (2018) and
Even in the Dark (2019) were certified soul-driven masterpieces. This 13-track collection is food to the soul, honey to the lips, and a calmness to random anxious interior storms of the heart.
Between 2020-2021, Bradford released five singles off the album pre-release to captivate his fans and leave a lingering soul-filled overtone filling the void up to the debut’s birth. Standout tracks on the project are “Waiting,” “Break of Dawn” featuring Montell Fish, “Rescue” and “How Many Times.” Listeners ears are gifted a variety of soundscapes throughout the album production. Also, beautiful sonics all-around between acoustic guitars, piano keys, an organ, brass and other surprises.
At times, believers need to step away from the politics and motions of atypical cooperate worship music. Soul-driven, heartfelt words from just an acoustic guitar and an authentic vocalist (worshipper) are best prescribed for the emotional onslaught of negativity believers deal with daily. Bradford is sincere with his art; passionate even. His words linger on the tongue and mind for days to follow. The debut album is a success to say the least. Stream
