NY Rapper Double A.B. and beatsmith Git Beats join forces to release their first collaborative album “Lungs Of Mahalia.” To accompany the album release (4/19), the duo drop the Steven Tapia directed video “Recliner.” The song is an ode to the finer things in life, specifically enjoying some herbal stimulation while reclining in your favorite comfy chair. The video illustrates just that as we witness A.B. in his bathrobe, kicking raps while lounging on his throne smack dab in the middle of NYC’s famous Washington Square Park amid a giant 4/20 celebration.
The album title gives a nod to the legendary vocal abilities of the late gospel star Mahalia Jackson, as A.B. delivers his own brand of divinely inspired rap vocals over Git’s soulful, avant-garde production. The subject matter is far from church-friendly however, as A.B. traverses through the trappings of NYC street life, eventually ending the album with Justice, a scathing NSFW protest song. The guest features read like a who’s who of independent Hip-Hop with the likes of Eto, Homeboy Sandman, The Musalini, Prince Po, A-Plus & Young Zee all delivering masterful verses over Git’s mesmerizing melodies.
