Substantial - See Hear
Artist: Substantial
Producer: Algorythm
Album: Home Is Where the Art Is
Label: Mello Music Group
To someone just passing through, Substantial‘s home turf might look like any other ‘hood. To the Baltimore rhymesayer, however, those city blocks are the repository of myriad hopes, dreams, struggles and triumphs. On new single See Hear, he sets out to open listeners’ eyes and ears to the sights and sounds surrounding him on the daily—from the hustlers standing on the corners, to the wail of police sirens, to the families fighting to keep food on the table. After painting a vivid portrait of his urban environment, he shifts gears to lace Algorythm‘s soulful sample work with an account of his own artistic awakening. Singer Steph lends her radiant harmonies to the record’s hook. For this record and mcuh more, check out Sub’s Home Is Where the Art Is LP, executive produced by Booth fave Oddisee and available now via Melo Music Group.

 Substantial reminds me a lot of K. Sparks. His music is a model of consistency and his records never feel stale or played out.

I like the way Substantial keeps the flow moving on the chorus. Nice sample in the beat by Algorythm. Good work.

First I hear cussin’, then bussin, then the sirens
And I see sufferin’ from domestic violence But I don't hear solutions and I don't see an end near But that's nothing new son, if you ever been here. |
