Antwan Wiggins kennen wir HipHop Freunde unter dem Namen Awons und verbinden damit gute Musik, welche sich auf die Golden Era beruft. Awons, der schon einige gute Projekte zusammen mit seinem Buddy Phoniks umsetzte, ist nun wieder Solo unterwegs und hat mit Soulapowa ein 13 Track starkes Album herausgebracht... auch auf Vinyl. Mindestens so cool wie die vorherigen Auskopplungen - hier geht es zu meinem Plattenküchen-Beitrag.On this album I mainly worked with Phoniks, but I also have production from SoulChef, Linkrust Flipmasta, Mz Boom Bap, Dread Solo, and my bro Dugga aka Rashard. Phoniks tells me this is a soulful follow up to Matte Black Soul. I can tell you that a lot of the content is inward looking. I wrote a lot about emotions, thoughts, and feelings. The only feature is from Anti-Lilly due to the personal nature of the content. I really felt open and almost complete by the end of the album. Last year was a rollercoaster for my career as well as personally. Most of you know I am a new dad and that experience inspired most of the songs. The title was meant to reflect light shining on my soul, that optimism and positivity is power, hence Soulapowa. The title is also a nod to the production, both jazzy yet textured with soulful horns, beautiful pianos, and funky guitars. I have been long winded enough, thank you for the support already.
So, ich muss jetzt noch den neuen Podcast zusammenschneiden und du kannst dir Awons Album anhören.
