"Lute, who also happens to be influenced by the artist Big KRIT [...]"



I heard Biggie on Letter... though it was Notorious B.I.G., but it's probably KRIT.



“Music is music long as it comes from the heart. No one can tell you that it's not a song if you can paint a picture of your struggle, your happiness, whatever it may be, as long as it's true to you and some one out there can relate, then it's music.”



Nice quote.



"It may seem humble of him to make that point but make no mistake, he has big plans. Lute's presence on ”West1996” demands your attention, as if the throne of hip hop was his for taking. This is an incredibly solid debut for the young Carolinian, and right now it seems as if the sky is the limit. “Praise the RZA” because Lute has risen."



It's 2012, the truth is finally here...

The first couple tracks put me off... very reminscent of Nas' Illmatic, but clearly trying to be better than Illmatic is a mistake... I feel like he settled in towards the end. Some good music here... I hope more people take you up on the



FREE MUSIC.

2nd half of this record > 1st half of record



One track said the n-word 20+ times...



Illmatic is the opposite



First half > Second half

it's kinda hard to see in life when you six feet deep

below the earth, pimp the hearth, bucket seats

dark tint, black paint, let the reaper reap

Letter2 pulls its own weight as a closer...





Letter to what could've been

my lady, my wife, my best friend

if you love it, you let it go in the wind...

And if it comes back, then maybe it was meant to be

I guess I got to wait to see.

I am sincere, so I sing this sincere-ly

PS: don't even write back, cuz I'm sending mine back, so gimme my heart back.

You gotta understand where Lute is coming from man... then you will feel better about the album art. Try and listen to the album once or twice... it's really good.
