This post is hard for me. Really hard. There was arguably no artist more influential to me than me than Chino XL. And as some artists have passed on, a bit of sadness takes your heart, but this was more. This was the feeling of losing legend and inspiration in one breath. He was and is one of a kind and no one treads exactly in those steps. In Sermon In Crimson, you hear the density and you hear the passion. You can play this track back 25x and hear 25 lines and phrases you didn’t catch, and that is the beauty of the wordsmith. RIP Legend.
