Our Take

Fantastic Negrito's latest album, "Grandfather Courage," is a rollercoaster of emotion and musical innovation. From the opening track, "Chocolate Samurai," it's clear that this Grammy-winning artist has brought his A-game once again.

The album effortlessly blends traditional blues and soul with modern hip-hop influences, creating a sound that is both familiar and forward-thinking. Tracks like "How Long?" and "Searching for Captain Save a Hoe" showcase Fantastic Negrito's incredible vocal range and storytelling abilities, while "Your Sex is Overrated" and "These Are My Friends" demonstrate his knack for catchy hooks and infectious beats.

But it's not all high-energy anthems on "Grandfather Courage." The hauntingly beautiful ballad "Never Give Up" showcases a more vulnerable side to the artist, reflecting on themes of love, loss, and resilience.

Fantastic Negrito's raw, unapologetic lyrics cut straight to the heart of the listener, touching on social issues such as racism, poverty, and personal struggles. His music is a call to action, a wake-up call to the world to do better and be better.

Overall, "Grandfather Courage" is a testament to Fantastic Negrito's artistry and talent. It's a bold statement from an artist who is unafraid to push boundaries and challenge the status quo. In a world filled with cookie-cutter pop stars, Fantastic Negrito stands out as a beacon of authenticity and creativity. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good music with a message.
