Ed Rowe x Concept – “State Of Emergency” feat. StaHHr

a0601816715_10

“State Of Emergency” brings StaHHr aboard the Ed Rowe & Concept project “Essenchill.”

Emerging from the haze of polluted sound waves comes a breath of fresh air: ‘Essenchill’. Amidst a chilled collective of soulful, jazzy, boom-bap rhythms, flows vitally poignant lyricism, embodying perspectives on meditation, family, and overcoming life’s obstacles. Essenchill will engage listeners of all ages and backgrounds, while still appealing to true hip-hop heads.
