IMG_7372Make yourself some Nectar Of The Gods and listen to a modern epic as told by Stevie Crooks

Rarely do you find a rapper who develops a theme for a project similar to the way a Greek poet would develop a plot. Well California emcee, Stevie Crooks, is a rare find. His latest project centers around the story of a demigod who falls to earth from the heavens, is raised by a widow, challenges the evil forces in the City of Vices, and continues his quest to sit among the Gods once again. But believe that Crooks has written this epic with much greater detail and attention than I briefly summarized. For with the purchase of this album, you will also get a track by track breakdown of the journey of this demigod as it relates to the lyrics. You also notice a personal suggestion from Stevie on how to enjoy the project as he meant it to be, with a libation of his own creation-a Nectar Of The Gods.

Stevie plans on continuing his strong streak of projects from LRG sponsored Cashmere Killer to VLNS NVR DIE. Be sure not to miss this one as well.

And if you need some extra coaxing, stream one of the tracks below to get a glimpse into the legend. But before hit play, here is the read along excerpt Stevie provides: “Remember the first time you stepped foot into a big city: The people The buildings The sounds The lights the constant movement the Excitement the entertainment[.] Athens Song symbolizes all these things in his eyes when he first steps foot into the city of vices.”
