专辑简介

Love Hate n' Marriage is Existance of Western Medicine's second full length solo album, his first in about five years. He began working on the project shortly after getting married and experiencing life from the working class family man's perspective. He uses the concept of marriage as a metophor for the struggle to achieve balance in the off kilter world of polarized forces we live in. He produced the majority of the project himself but had some help from his homies at the Darkside Studios in Portland, Oregon. Co Western Medicine member Jeff James put in much work on the project along with other features from Kwyet One of Western Medicine, Drew Slum, M@Lrg, Sandstone, Kid Mush, Mosaic, Fidel Maestro, Josh Uithof and Travis Champ. The album's honest and empowering writing spoken through Existance's unique voice and skillful rapping, combined with west coastal hard hitting rain forest instrumentals makes for a thought provoking and head nodding listen.
