Interview with Spectrum Culture
I Self Devine is part of the pioneering generation of artists that make up the trailblazing independent hip-hop label Rhymesayers. Labelmates include rap legends such as Atmosphere, Brother Ali, and Evidence (Dilated Peoples) amongst others.
Blurb:
I Self Devine returns with his sophomore album The Sound of Low Class Amerika. You can feel the passion I Self Devine delivers on topics of community, class and social injustice in America as he spits truths to inspire the masses. The album is both a narrative for the current state of the world and a telling history as to how they arrived there.
I Self Devine’s truly unique voice and style create a sense of urgency and call to action while leading and equipping the listener with the tools necessary to act and dissent. Production from Jake One amongst others, as well as a guest appearances from labelmate Brother Ali. It comes in strong and never slows or wavers as it takes to the listener’s ear and marches them to the end.
It’s an album that ultimately solidifies I Self’s position as a leader — not only in his own social community but that of the music community.
