Harn SOLO performing the song, “The Future” in San Diego, California. Video directed by Scott Harney. http://Youtube.com/FocusCinemaTV
The song is the first single from Harn SOLO’s upcoming sixth studio album “Perfect Picture” due this Autumn.
Abandoning his tradional boom-bap sound, Harn SOLO collaborates with young New Orleans talent Crescent Kingz Productions for a new energized style of hip-hop.
The rebirth of Harn SOLO’s music direction also brings a lighter side to his character. The artist finds himself enjoying a day at the beach and carnival, as he candidly kicks rhymes by the ocean side.
