Album: Pawz One (@Pawz1) » #FaceTheFacts

The West Coast has gained a following for being a purely gangsta rap scene, but the LA-based newcomer Pawz One challenges this ideology with the release of his debut album ‘Face The Facts‘. Though the 18 track project plays out like a Golden Era hustler’s anthem, the delivery & presentation is what makes this one so memorable. The blend of Pawz’s lyrical potency, coupled with the boom-bap production savvy of LA’s Default & Breeze, prove to be a notable combination that’s worthy of your attention. From the piano frantic “Officer Down” to the A Tribe Called Quest-sampled “The Luv [Remix]” featuring Masta Ace & Ariano, ‘Face The Facts‘ showcases a West Coast vibe, balanced with that East Coast grit. Beats aside, the lyrics of ‘coming up & taking over‘ are central to the album’s theme, as Pawz creates a Scarface’esque story of success. ‘Face The Facts‘ includes additional guest features from Ras Kass, Termanology, Rakaa Iriscience, 2Mex, & Self Provoked and is now available via Below System.
