Talking about a variety of things, the artist doesn&#8217;t stick to the standard hip hop subjects when he raps. From opening single, <em>Memories of Linwood,<\/em> H.W. brings his heart and thoughts down on the table as he discusses what he went through in a past heartbreaking relationship. It&#8217;s slightly melodramatic if you listen closely but the steady beat helps to elevate the mood.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F2089282&amp;show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Brutally Beautiful,\u00a0<\/em>is another cut that shows off the artists&#8217; emotion, talking about that one girl that captured his heart that one time. The song also shows off a great vocal sample done by <a href=\"http:\/\/djemohbetta.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">DJ Emoh Betta<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, <em>Moving On (feat. Sarah Lynn B)<\/em> adds a nice jazzy vibe while <em>Faded Memories,<\/em> is a verbally strong cut. Appropriately closing the record is <em>Old Town;\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0a track that catches the singer reminiscing about both the good and bad memories that he went through in his hometown.<\/p>\n<p>The album is essentially traditional hip hop, with classic beats you&#8217;ll find almost anywhere in the hip hop world. However,\u00a0perhaps the greatest strength of the record is the artist&#8217;s words themselves. You&#8217;ll find enjoyable tracks on here and maybe even life lessons or experiences you can easily relate to.
