Blurb:
The Great Truth is a passionate and introspective piece of work. It embodies the raw energy of early nineties hip hop but the contemporary elegance of new age hip hop. With the lead single produced by Count Bass D and featuring Original Soul, it takes you back to the golden era of hip hop without sounding dated as O Soul and Lejend trade 16’s about their musical prowess and pursuits. Tracks like “Prosper” and “Hiatus”, two of the album’s highlights, produced by Jlew SoulRehab. They really showcase Lejend’s penchant for precise lyricism and a conceptual approach that he takes throughout this new offering. Lejend exposes his true depth on “Slavery2Presidency” as he waxes philosophical about the journey blacks have had in America over smooth and soul charged MSlago production with melodic overtones from Mz Fortune. He really puts his stamp on the listeners with the Juicy-produced, Donwill- assisted heater “This Life” as they flow about the trials and tribulations of This Life. Lejend spits about coming of age as an emcee and long road left to travel. The Great Truth is a powerful collection of thoughts, experiences and concepts. Accompanied by dynamic production and lyrics that go beneath the surface, you will want to hear more from this Texas emcee.
