#AlbumOfTheWeek Vocaliz creates cultural experience with new album “Afrikan in New York” [INTERVIEW INCLUDED]

Music is a universal language. One that mythically transcends most national and societal boundaries normally unbroken on planet Earth. If you want a beautiful, polarizing example of this concept, look no further than award-winning, Cameroonian emcee, Vocaliz, and his eclectic 12-track opus, “Afrikan in New York”. “Afrikan in New York” is in all ways Vocaliz’s “break-out” album; his solo debut apart from Ghanian producer, Afana. It is an evolution on the artist’s signature sound: marrying African sonics with Urban inflections. The record kicks off with a title track that features rhythmic, tropical marimbas, backed by a scorching clap and thunderous 808s. One thing Vocaliz makes certain on this track is that his national pride will never die; setting the tone of African conceptuality and confidence for the rest of the album. This similar sentiment is echoed on a personal favorite, “Oh Na Na” a reggae-esque anthem whose main beat-break is a loop of organic, hip-hop drums. It is in these moments on the album where his Brooklyn basis shines. Tracks such as “At the Speed of Love” (another favorite), “May Be”, and “We Up” (another favorite) have a pristine, Golden Era hip-hop tonality to them; while the tracks succeeding them are much more modern and “trap” in expression. 


As the only rapper on the entire album, Vocaliz phenomenally brings something new and refreshing to each and every beat he spits on. Whether its afrobeat, reggae, boom-bap or trap, this Cameroon-born, Brooklyn-based emcee attacks the music wholeheartedly; able to bend and maneuver his accent to suit and emphasize some already remarkable bars. When it comes to his sound, Vocaliz proves on this astounding debut that he has conquered it; and the universal language of music is yet another one he’s doubtlessly mastered. Vocaliz his recent shared his journey with TheDopeness interview series. Enjoy “Afrikan in New York” and join Vocaliz's growing movement today!

#AlbumOfTheWeek "Swimming with Sharks" by Arowana [Hosted by Don Cannon]

The definition of Arowana is a freshwater fish with a sharp tongue. This should give you some insight into the mc with the same name. Rising hiphop artist, Arowana, lives up to that definition on his critically acclaimed 7-track EP titled "Swimming with Sharks". He opens up his consciousness to the listener as he tells his narrative using very intricate flow patterns. Also, the co-sign king, Don Cannon, sets the mood of the project providing dope intros! Arowana flows effortlessly over elevated production by beatmakers: Jae-R, Rellim, Linky Link, OhZone, and Tha Shipmates. Below is our interpretation of the entire collection. Enjoy listening to USA Blog Network's #AlbumOfTheWeek and download "Swimming with Sharks" today on DatPiff! http://piff.me/6781866


"MIA" is an ode to a friend as he drowns his sorrows with Mary Jane.

"Pearl Shxt" is a trippy joint where he takes a second to reminisce.

"In A Ditch" is a crazy dope song where he uses a superior flow style to kill the beat.

"Writing Off Drugs" is a behind-the-scenes into his writing & smoking process.

"On My Toes" is an uptempo testament to his grind.

"Get Off My Ass" is a true life tale of him climbing from the bottom all the way to the top.

"In The Zone" is a hustler's anthem.
