The Absouljah "The Author Illustrates" (Album Stream)

"The author brings you the story. However, when this very author brings you the story written so well you can see the visuals in vivid motion… He also becomes the illustrator. The author and illustrators job goes hand in hand: One describes events in words, while the other draws pictures to relate to the words, and sometimes pictures are placed first to let words describe them. The author illustrates life in its actual form. Away from the misrepresentation of glamour being the life we live instead of the hopeful ending we dream of. In this detailed album, we will see the world through the mind of an authentic visionary." Stream "The Author Illustrates" by The Absouljah below.

The Absouljah "Dim The Light" (Album Stream)

"Music is often a reflection of life, so “Dim the Light” is no different. In today’s world, we often have to embrace brutal conditions; meanwhile, assuming the worst has come. How could we know if the worst has already come and gone? It is uneasy to tell. Therefore, the light is dim. While not completely dark, still recognizable that the light isn’t as bright as it once was. “Dim the Light” is a representation of struggle, hopes, and dreams. The Absouljah hails from the gritty paradigm known as Far Rockaway in the borough where kings are born, Queens, New York. When it comes to the essence of hip hop, people who are familiar with Absouljah’s music know that he is a reflection of not only the movement but also the culture. The Absouljah is more than music. He is the voice for those who struggle and face oppressions and injustices daily. The Absouljah is gearing up to provide more authenticity and lyricism to hip hop."
