Moving along…
Having toured nationally with such legendary artists as Sadat X of Brand Nubian and ED O.G., as well as having shared the
stage with KRS-One, De La Soul, The Pharcyde, the GZA,
and Boot Camp Clik, Verbal Kent is well prepared to make an impact in 2005 both on wax and on
stage.
Gravel Records
presents Move With the Walls, which will
be released on 10-17-06, the introspective sophomore release, from Chicago’s
own Verbal Kent. Kent’s 2004 debut, What Box, featuring Wordsworth
& One Be Lo, geared a decent
amount of buzz both in the U.S. and internationally.
With a production line-up, that is guaranteed to leave you
satisfied. Ranging from Oddisee, Maker (Glue), Overflo, K-Kruz (of Modill), Kazl and Earmint. And a few guest spots from
artists such as Ill Bill of Non Phixion,
Tableek of Maspyke, Blade (UK), Longshot as well as label mates Earatik Statik and Rusty Chains.
