With accessible lyrics and production that can be enjoyed by anyone who likes real hip hop, New Jersey native 8thW1 drops a full-length debut worth a listen with Love, Money and Music! Starting at a young age and perfecting his skills over the years, the seasoned emcee conceptualizes the albums meaning on every track, and overall the philosophy is that you can have money, love, and music but you can almost never have all three and be happy without outside influences and hardships in your life that only you can overcome. Intellectual, philosophical a little spiritual, at times experimental and not afraid of criticism. If you need comparisons think a less commercially influenced Lupe Fiasco.
