About This Album
"I'm an MC y'all, I am who I am," Braille emphatically states on "Remember Your Path," a track from his fourth album, cleverly monikered IV. "Path" follows the artist's road to rap, on a track that's equal parts early life story and homage to hip-hop. It's one of a clutch of autobiographical songs here, which also include his manifesto "Beautiful Harmony" and the intensely personal "Many Stories." But Braille has built his career on such soul-baring, a decision he recounts on the emphatic "Calculated Risk," and expounds upon on "Restless." The risk he refers to, of course, is dedicating his music to God's work. Only rarely, though, does Braille preach, with his sole sermon, "The Cure," delivered over K-Murdock's laid-back beat. Even so, positive messages abound, from the guest-heavy "Constantly Grow" to the heavy-hitting, apocalyptic "Counter Attack," which warns that even though evil approaches, the situation is not hopeless. On "Get It Right" Braille is at war with himself, seeking God's help to overcome sin within and without, and the paranoia and guilt that grip him.
