The album title “Lungs of Mahalia” gives a nod to the legendary vocal abilities of the late gospel star Mahalia Jackson, as A.B. delivers his own brand of divinely inspired rap vocals over Git’s soulful, avant-garde production. The subject matter is far from church-friendly however, as A.B. traverses through the trappings of NYC street life, eventually ending the album with Justice, a scathing NSFW protest song. The guest features read like a who’s who of independent hip-hop with the likes of Eto, Homeboy Sandman, The Musalini, Prince Po, A-Plus & Young Zee all delivering masterful verses over Git’s mesmerizing melodies.
