Outlaw
Instant classic album from Seattle's own Smoove J. Charles. "Outlaw" (produced entirely by Ya Highness) is a fitting title for this masterpiece. The storytelling and word play paint a gritty picture that gives listeners a glimpse into Smoove's world. The soulful/futuristic production is the perfect soundtrack for the surprisingly wide range of subject matter covered in this relatively short project. From the struggle, to hustling, relationships, winning and losing - Smoove covers it all. All killer, no filler! 8 highly charged tracks that will have you pressing repeat to soak in all of the game represented. Do not sleep on this one! (Or the rest of the Smoove J. Charles catalogue!)
