Embracing hip hop’s ever-changing landscape, Wally Clark‘s Sportin Waves sounds like an old friend that’s ready to chill and pour you a drink.

Founder of the recording company Gummy Soul, Wally Clark is a Nashville native who marks his sound with a combination of Tennessee’s soul music, hip hop, and Southern charm.

Sportin’ Waves is Clark’s second solo release featuring 10 retail-worthy tracks. Clocking in at number one is Holla. Kick your feet and jiggle to the sound of jazzy horns and steady hip hop beats.

In Strong Woman, Clark treats us with clean rapping and smokey vocals that do not shroud the ears. While Hibiscus experiments with a plethora of slow, building arrangement of drums, bass, and chimes.
