Russ – Santiago [Album Stream]
Atlanta based rapper, singer and producer Russ has released his new LP, “Santiago”.
The 13-track album delves deeply into Russ’ personal experiences, encompassing his struggles, family challenges, mental well-being, insecurities, financial matters, and relationship with alcohol, among various other themes, making the project highly intimate and reflective.
“It feels like this is my debut album. In a sense, it is. This version of myself has never been heard. You know? I think it’s woken me up to what’s been going on internally and at least I now am aware of what’s been going on, and I have tools and resources and help to try to figure out and how to manage what’s going on. It gave me a lighthouse. And at this point, even though it is art and there is a distance from myself a little bit, but I think my goal is to merge what’s going on internally with the music seamlessly, so that they just go hand in hand. It’s like the creative side of me was always the part of me that would come downstairs and make sense of everything that was going on in my personal life,” he told Zane Lowe on Apple Music.
