Preview: “Tell Dem” Album

Posted: May 25, 2011 in music, reviews


This album is the fruit of a collaboration with Circadian Riddims. As a project, it illustrates some of the best capabilities of this Boston-based production crew. From entirely live acoustic tracks to studio productions, the sound is nu and fresh. When asked about his approach to making this record, kwe responds: “Lyrically, I want this album to demonstrate the range of my vocal talent. You got some straight-up hip hop tracks (which is my musical foundation), alongside more roots-type beats with chants and singing parts/verses. Finally, you got dub poetry.” Having recently published his first collection of poetry in 2010, this album is a reflection of kwe’s growth not only as an emcee/poet, but also as a musician and artist. In anticipation of this album, a podcast release last year (Astronomy Vol. I) served as a blueprint of sorts for “Tell Dem”.
