Today marks the release of Believing, the latest full-length from Guelph, Ontario producer Elaquent. We just named him one of this month’s hip-hop acts you need to know, and this album is just one of the reasons we included Eq on that list. While it’s a mostly instrumental affair, guest vocalist Allie shows up to bless standout “Interference”. Elsewhere, Elaquent displays his innate ability to make this collection soulful/jazzy boom-bap more than just another project you can find on Bandcamp or Soundcloud. Some folks like to sell instrumental albums short, but to those I say, “You really need to listen to Believing and perhaps maybe even receive a smack upside the head.” Good morning.
Purchase: Elaquent – Believing [Bandcamp]
