Continuing his catalog of laid-back relaxing tunes, Houston rapper 96 Real has released his latest EP, Outside Avenue. The five-track listing is a smooth testament to Houston’s carefree stature and seems to evolve as a next chapter from the artist’s 2019 Early Nights, Late Mornings.
Floating guitar riffs and light beats set the tone for the album, you almost feel as though you’re driving through the city in a convertible, the summer heat glaring down as the wind cools you. Big 9 effortlessly expresses his lyricism through playful storytelling of days in Houston, his time Kickin’ Back, and what truly impresses him about women.
96 Real blesses us with another small glimpse into his reality through a small collection of vivid and colorful tracks that leaves us wanting more for these long summer days.
And for those who can’t wait, 96 has also teamed up with singer Rhekia Franchè for an inspiring track titled SunShine. The single is a powerful motivational anthem that infuses Franchès longing voice with the relaxing presence of 96, creating an encouragingly uplifting track.
