Main Body of Discussion (2:23).
On rare occasion, we get two artists that come together at a moment where their skillsets and mindsets align in sublime harmony. That is what I see with Fatboi Sharif and steel tipped dove’s latest album released on Backwoodz Studioz, titled Decay.
Sharif’s been progressively growing as a vocalist and lyricist… who’s unique gifts mesh perfectly with the vast, atmospheric, and cutting-edge brand of experimentation found in steel tipped dove’s production.
Decay is a soundtrack for the times. Not necessarily the times that are upon us at this very moment, but what may soon be our reality in just a few decades from now
Decay is a psychedelic masterpieces - a result of two creative minds joining forces at the exact right time in their careers.
Sharif and Dove are here today to breakdown how this excellent new album was created, in the latest installment of the ‘Album Alchemy’ series.
