diz-gibran Born Khalil Kinsey, but you’ll know him as Diz Gibran – emcee from Los Angeles, California. He’s the son of philanthropists and owners of one of the largest collections of artifacts tracing African-American history… Bernard and Shirley Kinsey. He was exposed to many different worlds. He was around all kinds of people, saw different ways people expressed themselves and made a living. That experience influenced him in many ways. Through him, he channeled his own form of creativity. He got into skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, graffiti, got involved with the Diamond Supply Company with friends, co-founded The Stevenson-Gibran Agency, and is now releasing albums as a hip hop artist. But, hip hop has been in his life since he was able to develop his own taste in music. He’s been emceeing since elementary school, so I’ve read. Now that you’ve “met Gibran“, in a large paragraph sort of way, I’m going to talk about his latest album.

soon-youll-understand

Soon You’ll Understand“, presented by Crooks & Castles, is an album, but it was put out as a mixtape. It was put up for free download sometime early April (7th, I think?). So, if you haven’t grabbed it yet, I think that you should. Beats from Moonshine. It’s almost rare these days to come across a tandem of one emcee and one producer, by the way. Although I’ve only listened through it one time (so far), I can safely say that it’s a hot album. It has bangers! And if you’re like me, you’re down with free. Hah, unintentional rhyme for you, but yeah… check it out.
