I had the pleasure of hearing “For the Record” live last month via Torae’s appearances at Atlanta’s A3C Festival. With his album dropping yesterday, Torae blesses fans with a free drop of the DJ Premier-produced title track. An enchanting violin and piano loop fuels Premier’s boom-bap arrangements while Torae lyrically stakes his aspirations to be an elite emcee. Torae’s For the Record is out now on iTunes and well worth a purchase.
