Braille - Box of Rhymes

The new album “Box of Rhymes” represents Braille’s most current and personal recordings available. These songs were created during a time where he and his wife (of 4 years) just moved into their first home and were expecting their first child. The time was very inspirational and motivational. Braille was also in the process of launching Hiphop IS Music as an official record label and touring all over the world through Japan, Europe, Canada and the U.S. as a solo artist (opening for James Brown, Juice, Casual, DeLaSoul, Gift of Gab and many more). “Box of Rhymes” is filled with visual story telling, rapid-fire lyrics, personal insight, social commentary and multi-layered concepts. Braille talks about life, God, art and much more from an honest perspective – sharing an authentic “true to himself” hiphop music experience.
