Have you ever been a fan of an underground artist that you knew was gonna blow up? I know that I have. I still remember like it was yesterday, I was fan crushing hard for Lonny Breaux when he released The Lonny Breaux Collection. A few years later Lonny re-surfaced as Frank Ocean dropped Novacane from his Nostalgia, Ultra mixtape and I knew I would be seeing him live soon. Similarly, do you remember in 09 when Drake released So Far Gone mixtape? I do and it wasn't until it's release that I knew he was about to blow up. ELHAE is my new Frank x Drake and his AURA EP , released January of this year, is to his career what Frank Ocean's Nostalgia, Ultra and Drake's So Far Gone mixtape was to theirs-- a cornerstone to something promising in music.
There is something to be noticed about the Atlanta based artist. He's hungry, sounds comfortable in his own and he has a distinctive sound and it's refreshing. Since his bandcamp days he's been consistently putting out good music, picking up traction, collaborating with SoundCloud influencers like SPZRKT and Rascal and he is making his mark on a New York City stage, tonight at SOB's, alongside SPZRKT and Abhi/Dijon.
