Throwaway

“You can throw away a seed, but you can’t stop it from growing into a tree”

There is a difference in the hip hop world between those who spend more time with their lyrics than others. Maybe this dichotomy in hip hop is due to corporate level influence of hip hop culture creating a homogenous music landscape to sell more units and dominate charts while perpetuating stereotypes. Or maybe it is because there are artists who just wish to spend more of their time writing something bar centric, something with substance, depth and dare it be said, poetic.

The artist being spoken of here is Amalgam8 from the infamous Faceless crew. The crew has been around for a minute and has solidified themselves as a genuine group of exceptionally talented emcees in the Southwest and most importantly to the State of New Mexico. Amalgam8 does not deviate from the approach and utilizes his talent to highlight his lyrical ability. His latest track Throwaway is a track with writing at its core. This artists spends time perfecting his word placement, rhyme scheme, metaphors, and cadence to deliver the finished product with intensity and finesse. With this being his third single of this year we can hope to see and hear more from the well recognized name!
