mb_boston Awon and SOUL.DOPE.95 killed it on this album! 💯 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The fresh soulful jazz beats, and sophisticated conscious lyrical fire perfectly complement each other. This is Hip-Hop at it's finest. Hard earned skills and funky artistic talent fully flexed. This is music for the people - unapologetically representing the original man's excellence. Gotta love it!!! Hopefully this is the start of more high powered projects to come.
Stay blessed, & keep God first 🙏🏽

markmcauley1 (Strictly Hip-Hop Spot) This was a cool collaboration, Powerful and educational themes, from a humble and knowledgeable place lyrically, I have always appreciated Awon's ability to speak from a personal/ Life experience in his Music, this album you have to listen more closely, it grows on you with more listens, "Sophisticated Information" is excellent too, Soul Dope 95 did his thing too, nice crisp approachable drums and tasteful keys on this thing, "
Have You Guessin" beat a highlight for me from the producer. Favorite track: Stolen Peace.

about

Infinite Wisdom is a collaborative album from Virginia emcee Awon and LA-based producer SOUL.DOPE.95. Rashard Whitehead aka Dugga, happened to come across the mysterious producer, SOUL.DOPE.95 while scrolling beat videos and sounds on Instagram. After reaching out he connected him with Awon and instantly a chemistry was born. Bonding over fatherhood and music the pair seemed to know one another without ever speaking over the phone. SOUL.DOPE.95 infamously does not own a cellphone and only operates online and through email. After months of file sharing back and forth Infinite Wisdom has come to life. This body of work is an exploration of blackness and the standing of African Americans also Africans living in the diaspora in popular culture. There are many recurring themes that question blackness, heritage, love, and a mental resolution to break generational through positive self images. It is more of a reflective celebration which sounds thoughtful and liberating. The production offers flavors of jazz, soul, and gospel to create the sonic gumbo that pairs well with Awon’s introspective approach to writing. The duo hopes to share this celebration with the world and invites everyone to listen in and learn. The artwork for the album is an actual painting owned by Awon created by the burgeoning artist Dathan Kane titled “1988” after the graffiti tag of Awon. The mood is one that is warped and represents the artist’s abstract interpretation of warped vinyl. This is a nod to the celebration of Heritage as Dathan is also an artist of color operating in a space where many African Americans are not recognized.
