Soulful

The Newport News native drops off his fourth project Matte Black Soul. We already knew he could rap (need proof? Click here), but on here Awon gives us 13 tracks of soul with maturity. Matte Black Soul shows a more personal perspective from Awon with him tapping long time collaborator Phoniks and more for production. Read what he had to say about the project and stream it below.

“For me ‘Matte Black Soul’ was initially taking it back to the essence of an emcee rhyming over just loops and breaks. As we sourced samples and made beat changes it evolved into something more personal. I can listen to this record and see a reflection of myself through sound. From the obvious to the obscure, Matte Black Soul reflects what I like to hear, or what I would listen to in my spare time. I’m a soulful dude and I’m at the age where myself and all of my friends are digging in the crates, sipping Henny, sparking that Piff talking about the good ole days. I wanted to make a record that sounded like a shot house at 4 am. Some good food, hard liquor, and soul music.” – Awon
