Album Notes & Community Reviews

Centering on the cultural impact of gentrification in Brooklyn, the album utilizes high-level storytelling over traditional East Coast production. The arrangements frequently incorporate live horn sections and lush jazz-influenced instrumentation to underscore the historical weight of the lyrics. It serves as a sophisticated defense of the cultural identity of the artist's home borough.
