Estee Nack & Purpose release 14 Forms: The Book of Estee Nack

Estee Nack & Purpose (of Tragic Allies) have just released their long awaited album 14 Forms: The Book of Estee Nack. The project is entirely produced by Purpose (Tragic Allies, 7 G.E.M.S., Tragedy Khadafi, Killah Priest, Paranom, Big Shug, Singapore Kane, etc.) and is available now on CD/cassette/digitally via on Ill Adrenaline Records with distribution by Fat Beats. You can download the album on iTunes http://bit.ly/14FormsTheBookOfEsteeNack and via Amazon http://www.amazon.com/14-Forms-Book-Estee-Explicit/dp/B00XOO4PSW right now. Estee Nack has dropped what he considers to be his testament of truth, justice and righteousness unto those - who like him (1st generation American born to immigrants from the Dominican Republic) - were raised combating the daily trials and tribulations of survival in minority-majority, low-income neighborhoods. On the album, Nack lets the listener know how serious he is about preserving the purity of his overall message by handling all the mic work on the entire album, equipping his rugged vocal delivery to manifest topics ranging from the struggle and pride of immigrants (particularly Dominicans) in America and abroad, to his ideas on the social structure, fake friends, sex, and the science of the universe. The front-to-back play-worthy musical backdrops are ingeniously mapped by Purpose who continues to carve his legacy as a great producer, after providing stellar production on the previously released 7 G.E.M.S. and Paranom albums, offering a folk-like array of dark, funky basslines, dusty drum patterns and mellow-dreary melodic landscapes that - while remaining grimy and dark (true to the Purpose influenced Tragic Allies sound) - are reminiscent to a more grassroots sound, if not a deep inner city blues.
