Sound of the Weapon este cel de-al 8-lea album al lui Verbal Kent și a fost lansat în data de 18 februarie 2014, prin Mello Music Group.
A decade ago, while walking down an empty alley near Clark and Pratt in
Chicago, Verbal Kent had his throat slashed with a knife by an
acquaintance. Kent managed to make it to Saint Francis Hospital as blood
poured from his neck. He received nearly 100 stitches, the blade of the
knife missing the jugular by a mere centimeter, and took months to
recuperate. The impact of course was unimaginable; an incident like this
shades everything going forward for some time. It's been 10 years since
that incident changed Verbal Kent's life, and now The Windy City is
back in the news with unprecedented violence these past few years. Far
from a nihilist, Verbal finds meaning in the everyday struggles he and
his city live through - adding to it hard-line braggadocio, comedic
flare, and social awareness. The Sound of the Weapon is an unabashed
look at living through anything and loving everything. The cause of it
is truth. Sound of the Weapon is Verbal Kent's most complete album to
date.
Verbal has always been one to lock in amazing production. His last album
– with Ugly Heroes – was produced entirely by Detroit's Apollo Brown.
This time around everything is produced by Khrysis (Jean Grae, Evidence,
Talib Kweli, Elzhi). Add in a bonus track produced by 9th Wonder and
you've got a fully stacked solo album from Verbal Kent. The new album,
Sound of the Weapon, is set to be released February 18, 2014 on Mello
Music Group.
