Stereotypes

“... pressure people’s perceptions of not only what a violin can do”

“The reason I smile on stage is because I know I’ll completely pressure people’s perceptions of not only what a violin can do; or what music can possibly sound like, but also of what a black man is capable of” These are lyrics from the title track and it is exactly what they accomplish in this album. The duo plays violin and viola, combining classical and hip-hop beats. I found it thoroughly enjoyable. I downloaded the album from Hoopla, but it is also available as a CD.
