Brooklyn rapper BrokeMC, a man known for swagger, boldness, compelling visual art and occasional use of roller blades at local concert venues, has shifted gears for his latest LP ‘Re:Purpose.’ Gone are the samples and loops from his past several records, replaced here with a live group filled with synths, steel strings, and any percussive instrument you can imagine. Broke’s got his ups and downs, but as always, tracks like ‘DreamsDance’ tell a story of someone who knows how difficult things can be, and keeps on challenging himself to overcome those obstacles.
You may have heard him blow up sets in his group Deathrow Tull, but you’ve never heard him step out like this before. Check out the new record here. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
