WateRR & Machacha give powerful & hard knocking bars w/ new release “ALMIGHTY ii”

WateRR is so important to the last twenty years of Chicago’s music scene/industry, him & his peers have helped pioneer how artists from the open mic and cypher scenes became more polished artists. Legendary artists and curators like Brother Mike, Phenom, and K Love are just some of the folks WateRR has built with but that doesn’t even start to process just how powerful of an artist WateRR really is on his own. He has put out albums that have helped push the concept of quality that comes from the cities hip-hop scene. 2024 he has put out some incredible albums that have been given nothing but positive reviews by Chicago’s best when it comes to music. But the shows WateRR curated last year have been a true highlight to how well he’s tapped into the Chicago music scene/industry. To his “Renaissance of the Culture” show, which helped inspire the Purple Box anniversary show by APJ Films, to the tribute show for the legendary curator GQ tha Teacha. WateRR has been very focused on making the presence of hip-hop be very visible not just in Chicago but the world. WateRR has been taking his place as a true member of community that has been uplifting the history of Chicago so that we can understand it’s future, and he’s only still just getting started..

“ALMIGHTY II” is a twelve record project that has magnificent production coming from Machacha, and powerful and haunting barplay from WateRR. Each record sheds more light into the world that the artist lives in and how the trenches is a big part of that. The foundation of hip-hop is rooted in each verse WateRR puts forth and the song structure is simple and to the point..
