There were a variety of moments where I caught myself in total awe throughout Josef Lamercier's latest release "Figure It Out".
The soothing vocal presence that opens up the track was the initial moment I thought "damn, what is this". With the help of Niko Oroc and Huey Briss, Los Angeles based artist Josef has crafted an experience that blends a classic hip hop sound with the comforting allure of soulful R&B. The delivery of the verses are raw and so are the punchy drums, and I love that they're contrasted by graceful strings towards the mid section.
