Album DescriptionGripping lyrics, phenomenal production, and catchy hooks, are the meat and potatoes of Riff-Raff?s senior effort, State of Mind. A mix between contemporary gospel, mainstream hip-hop, R & B, Jazz, and so much more, makes this record amazingly colorful. This record covers nearly every audience, in every genre. Riff Raff has raised the standard on what a real gospel hip-hop artist is. With thick layers of instrumentation, in-your-face vocal arrangements and a tender ear for sophisticated pop poignancy, Riff-Raff is able to release a record that DEMANDS mainstream attention. All while crafting a tightly produced, hook-laden Rap album appealing to Rap, R & B, Contemporary, and Gospel fans alike. To put it another way, Riff-Raff?s State of Mind is lyrical genius, musical intuitiveness, and that sense of "feel good" that music should always be. Here is an album that shows optimism, and hope for a style of music that is known as violent. Riff-Raff is potentially the Gospel Hip-Hop star that the world has been awaiting for years. This is the genius of Washington, DC?s Riff-Raff.
