Chicago’s Verbal Kent (of Ugly Heroes) puts the Apollo Brown static crackler under the needle and trades verses with the one and only Gangsta Gibbs on this new song. ‘Suitcase Switch’ is the first single from Verbal Kent’s upcoming album ‘Anesthesia’ (in-stores 11/09/15). You can download the first track now at iTunes.
2015 sees the return of Verbal Kent as a solo artist with his most personal album to date. The new record Anesthesia grapples with the ways in which we self-medicate in order to deal with the daily lives put before us.
Verbal still has the agressive wordplay, still has the over the top braggadocio, but he’s added heavier thoughts to the overall canvas – the grain of his real life shining through.
The new album features Freddie Gibbs, Skyzoo, Torae, and Red Pill, along with production from Apollo Brown, Varan, Kaz-1, J.O.D., Marco Polo, and Oh No.
The new album “Anesthesia” will be available September 11th digitally, on CD digipak, and on limited black and white splatter edition Vinyl.
