Big Dream - Elegant Slums (Album)
Grown man rap right here, Big Dream more than delivers sturdy bars, chock full of pain, determination & wisdom, his vulnerabilities immediately tearing through the soulfulness, it's gritty & bittersweet.
"I'm the rose that wasn't meant to make it through the night" lets the listener know, this is a man who's been through it all, yet hasn't allowed his adversity to stop him's overcome the obstacles he's had to maneuver thus far. He's prepared for any more that will inevitably attempt to stand in his way or, even worse, bring him back down to a place he once was. His faith in himself is inspiring & it's what we all should aspire to attain, "Elegant Slums" is proof that we should never stop, no matter where we're afraid we might end up, we must take that risk to be happy indeed.
We will fight through this life together & music will motivate throughout the difficulties & keep in mind that lyricism like this these days is a rarity, cherish this offering for years to come.
