Coming Of Age
Memphis Bleek
Taking on the expectations of the Roc-A-Fella dynasty, this project provides a direct view of a young artist entering the music business. The delivery shows a hunger that mirrors the fast-paced nature of the New York hip-hop scene.
The production relies on soulful, gritty loops characteristic of the late nineties Def Jam sound. It maintains a high-stakes atmosphere throughout, emphasizing the aggressive energy found in NYC hip-hop at the turn of the millennium.
