Braille - Feel It
Artist: Braille
Producer: Evidence, co-prod. Khrysis
Album: Native Lungs
Label: Humble Beast
Where others would wait till they’d established a healthy Booth following before busting out their more avant-garde material, Braille is going straight for the experimental ish; instead of listening to this new single with your ears, you put your fingertips to your monitor and Feel It like the artist’s namesake. OK, I made that up—and I’ll give the more gullible among you a minute to wipe the greasy fingerprints off your screens. Got ‘em? Good. In contrast to the B.S. I just made up, the Portland repper’s first feature is a hard-hitting, emotionally-fraught meditation on the struggle and senseless tragedy that befall all too many in this world. Dilated Peoples alum Evidence collides with N.C.‘s Khrysis behind the boards, serving up a tense arepeggiated-piano backdrop as the emcee spits about the depravity and injustice that render his day-to-day grind unbearable—or it would be unbearable, if he didn’t have the Man Upstairs backing him up: “I feel the weight of this fallen world, I know you feel it too / The Lord is my refuge, redemption and rescue.” DJ Revolution steps behind the wheels of steel for a sampled hook, borrowing a famous line from Nas’ classic It Ain’t Hard to Tell. Digging this reflective cut? More awaits on Braille’s Native Lungs LP, available here for free download.

 Deep lyrical content with an equally believable and enjoyable delivery. Plus, the production and scratches are cr-cr-crack. Dope record.

This guy's album is seriously one of the best bodies of work I've heard this year as far as hip-hop is concerned. He takes it back to the roots of what made this genre so impactful in the first place. My only caution is that you might want to do some neck stretches before you press play. Don't sleep on Braille!
