I just checked my mail for the first time in a week to find a healthy stack of CDs awaiting a listen. First up is Father Abraham who has been hitting me up via email and was really sweet to send over one of his 319 copies of I Am Not A Sailor I Am The Captain. Taking a cup of tap water, Father Abraham hits it up with some Tang powder and mixes his ingredients until they’re so well blended you’d think it was orange juice the entire time. With unrecognizable and cleverly placed samples supporting beats to bump in your car, Abraham loops and corrects those hearts that warped after Atmosphere’s last album with Aesop Rock flows and Noah23 class…and who’d guess the dude is from Boston?
I recently had a conversation with Cameron about rap and hip-hop culture going DIY, watching Baby Bash at a Warehouse party or T.I. playing in the Biko Garage. Father Abraham knows what’s up, he’s on that special tip, and if he keeps hustling like this then the world is his playground. I’m pumped to develop a relationship with this record. Purchase the album here and hit up Father’s one song per week webpage here.
