Autobiographical R&B! This discovery is another result of YouTube recommendations. Describing his rough past, the lyrics are akin to the content that you’d commonly find in hip hop, but delivered in a melody and a voice like silk. Much of this artist’s album Testimony deals head on with his less-than-wholesome history, which is not exactly uplifting but is refreshing in a genre dominated by love songs. This album opener, which almost functions more as an introduction than a typical song, as it lacks a real chorus until the very end, outlines August’s rough upbringing and explains where he comes from—knowledge which is alluded to in later tracks throughout the album. There's some profanity. Like the artists in my last two posts, he’s a young songwriter as well—all 3 are around the same age!
Note: HD is preferable!
