Brooklyn rapper Josh the Word pushes forward through the seasons with sharp lyrical delivery and smooth soul vocals. His new album “Psyched Out” is emblematic of that New York sound that has been made popular with everyone from J57 to Junk Science. It’s boom bap with equal parts earnest candor and quirky imagery. In another beautiful narrative video, Josh takes us to the fringe of both civilization and civility. Hip Hop has always had a combative method of escapism. Dig out your ski-mask and prepare to dig a little deeper. – BrokeMC
