The album "Shine Ancient" by Awate is an impressive collection of tracks that showcase the artist's unique blend of hip-hop, poetry, and social commentary. From the opening track "The Real McCoy" to the closing track "Shine Ancient," Awate's lyrics are both thought-provoking and emotive, tackling issues such as racism, identity, and the struggles of the working class.
One standout track is "Out Here," which features a haunting piano melody and poignant lyrics about the challenges faced by marginalized communities. Awate's flow is smooth and effortless, and his use of metaphor and wordplay is particularly impressive.
Another notable track is "Displaced," which tells the story of a refugee's journey to find a new home. The song's stripped-down production allows Awate's vocals to take center stage, and his delivery is filled with emotion and sincerity.
