The Star of the Story-UAES Album Review

The new wave in Chicago is nothing without Semiratruth for this simple reason..

They are one of the most equipped emcees that is not only about community, but they are focused on breaking the barriers around sound and how it’s perceived through hip-hop and live instruments. In our opinion, there is nothing that Semiratruth cannot do. If you have been following their work you know just how amazing they are. What is forming in Chicago right now is truly nothing without what they contribute to the scene’s sound and overall culture..

Their new album “The star of the Story” is so abstract and yet calm with the many sounds and creative styles that compliment the main goal of this project, which is to create an opportunity for the listener to just experience their own feelings. While many artists might get away from this for the fear of being too deep or woke Semiratruth takes no prisoners as they show real vulnerability through powerful bars and a genuine approach to hip-hop that we are so in love with. We strongly suggest you take the time to listen to this album that’s three years in the making. It’s truly a work of art..

Records like “Solar Storm” and “Run Across the Sky” show just how Semiratruth can fuse boom bap with incredible sounds, making for a listening experience that can only be described as reflective and peaceful..

While records like “Humpty” and “Losemymind” reminds you that while Semiratruth is an amazing producer with so many talents, they are an emcee with bars that are overwhelmingly honest and paints a picture of what it could be like trying to balance mental health while just trying to exist in this world..

Our favorite records to play in the office has to be “Drifting” ft BSA Gold, “Sayit!” & “Humpty”..

Take a listen and let us know what you think of this phenomenal project..
