“Freedom is priceless
And it's funny when you see someone in their complete element of freedom. Not in the sense of ha ha, but in a sense of admiration and wanting to be in the same space. Wanting to just... be.
When experiencing a live performance of Chicago band The Rockstar Poetry Project (TRPP), the energy hits you instantly. With a musical aesthetic of Jazz, Funk, Disco and horns that provide a seducing ambience, the "cherry on top" is the spoken word of Khari B. the Discopoet emcee. The sounds swarming the atmosphere lead your head to rocking and your body reacts to the shameless freedom witnessed before you.

The sound of the album is free, truth, challeng[ing], and at times a needed awakening with a balanced backdrop of fun.”
