free blck. - get home. (Album)

All praise to 93 Kurt Loder for introducing us to Dallas trio free blck. by way of their latest project, "get home." It engulfs my listening experience with knowledgeable wordplay & conscience thinking penmanship, which most rap nowadays don't care about delivering. The enlightenment this triple threat provides in the 8-track project is structured with charismatic energy and potent wordsmith aptitude channels enormously well for an introduction that I couldn't wait to show with our followers.

Rapping black & rapping facts, it sure looks to me like these guys ain't cap. They dramatically set the tone as the emcees they are with the intro "F.A.B." (Free And Blck) starting with a powerful synopsis before launching into a chorus that paves a way of imagery that reflects on their time now in their lifestyle & ones their ancestors went through. One of the most heartening records I've heard in a while can combine style and grace with such wording of description that it paints a vivid masterpiece. I can't lie; I was moved by how they balanced out their daily regime with black history in perfectly detailed lyricism that transcribed to carry out a dynamic storytelling record to echelon heights. That was the intro alone, but the rest of the project sets up an encyclopedia of philosophical range when you spill into records like "envious" & "nooligians." It pinpoints the trio cadence to uplift while venting the built-up aggression they felt due to the struggles they deal with in their environment because of their skin color. Still, they push with the mindset that black is excellent, and while they shove it in the face of those oppressors, they have no problem continuing to do for those with ill intent toward them. They share the jazzmatic sense of this in joints like "GardenOfDope" & the N'Dambi featured track "ventilation," where they cold-heartedly let out a roar of frustration mirrored out as soulful interaction. Kind of like the music of John Coltrane where his music, as beautiful as it is, was described as angry because he channeled his ancestors' emotion in his musical format. I can say the same description about free blck here with the album they constructed so superiorly well. They said the block is hit, and they haven't even noticed; they keep it rolling. If the beat could breathe, they are speaking at its eulogy. "No I.D." like Ye mentor was the first release they did, and while the story begins there, it doesn't stop since they cooked up something special here that the world needs to recognize.

I'm genuinely grateful for free blck sharing the project for the culture because this easily became Top 5 for me this year; no bullshit, I will stick to the script and fight anyone that says I'm lying. These guys are on my radar for the new year, and I will make sure some time is made to extend my appreciation for it in person. I'm not saying you should; I'm telling you all you need to take the time out of your day to sit and listen to this album. Do it as soon as you read this sentence; it is currently not available on streaming services but only on Audius right now, so get to making that account and start sharing the project on all available social media platforms.
