After three years of silence, Gospel-versed Hip-hop artist Sho Baraka is ready to release his latest project, and Humble Beast couldn't be any happier.
The Los Angeles-based artist is the indie labels newest member, and after a season of inconsistent lineups, Humble Beast is eager to announce their latest recruit's debut with The Narrative. The album is scheduled for release on October 21.
The album features guest artists Lecrae as well as fellow Humble Beast artist Jackie Hill, and has also addressed inclusion of a certain Kanye West tribute. While Sho aims to narrate the struggles of Black America, the label provides a more detailed insight pertaining to the forthcoming album:
“The theologian rapper confronts controversial topics in The Narrative including social consciousness, issues of everyday life, and the struggles we all face as human,” written in the album statement.
“He also shows a softer side, opening up about the journey of being a father and the challenges that come with raising children... No matter what the issue at hand, it is all saturated in a Gospel worldview, which informs how Sho wrestles through each train of thought.”
Aside from the much-awaited album, Sho will also be joining Propaganda, as they lead the charge to raise social awareness on their Spotlight Tour, which makes it first stop in San Diego, October 21, coinciding with Sho's Humble Beast debut.
The Narrative is currently open for pre-order via iTunes.
