When music is powerful and honest, it spreads. Substantial has been making music informed by his DMV upbringing for more than a decade now. His musings-in-rhyme have taken him far beyond the reaches of PG County. Substantial has seen the world over, collaborated with artists from other nations and rocked stages across several continents. Home Is Where The Art Is, his third official solo LP, will further solidify Sub as the indie powerhouse he is.

Recently @Substizzle’s pen game took him to China. Forming part of the supergroup FANOMM, Sub was brought out to China by Bentley Motors to perform at the launch of the luxury auto company’s 2013 line. While in the Far East, Substantial took the time to share a verse from the upcoming album, akapelah and on-camera. Delivering the third verse from “See Hear” impeccably, Substantial puts into rhyme the grind and drive that took him from an unknown aspiring rapper to one of the most respected lyricists in the underground today. Earlier today Al Lindstrom debuted the akapelah video along with a good length write up providing insight into Susbtantial’s Asian business dealings over the past number of years: allindstrom.com/2012/08/video-bentley-motors-teams-up-with-substizzle-mellomusicgroup/

Though Home Is Where The Art Is isn’t about Bentley’s, blunts and bitches, as Sub jokes in the video, the alchemy of immaculate rhymes and hard beats is just as luxurious, intoxicating and pleasing. The LP drops September 4th on Mello Music Group.
