Thanks to coming to grips with the slow music movement and ending my music glut significantly, I’ve been giving much time to older releases which I’ve not given enough time, or found out too late. This one by St. Louis rapper Black Spade is literally 1 year old. Released last March “To Serve with Love” is a good effort on the Mighty Om Records, that has equal parts soul and electro. The much needed sunshine in Istanbul today begged me to post his debut which, like all 18 song albums this has lots of misses but fortunately the hits outnumber them. He’s a supafly guy himself as well.
