专辑简介

He has attempted to escape free from the incarceration of the norm today; captivating and stimulating the minds of many through his artistic masterpieces and intimate delivery. Who is he? This Alabama native, residing in the Southwest side of Atlanta welcomes the world to the life of Aiwal Ture (pronounced Too-ray). Witnessing the spirit of his grandfather's gospel hymns and performances, "A-Ture" was able to capture the passion of not only creating music, but expressing it in a way everyday people can feel and attest to it. Aiwal himself will ask you to close your eyes and listen as the lyrics and music paint a vivid picture. He enjoys the comparison of himself to the artist Romare Bearden. With musical influences such as The Geto Boys, U.G.K, 2Pac, OutKast, 8 Ball & MJG, Cube, Snoop, Too Short, Devin the Dude, Raekwon, Z-Ro, Red Hot Chili Peppers, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Rev. James Cleveland, Johnny Taylor, and Frankie Beverly, he fuses a blend of highly respected art forms into what is best defined as "uncensored purity". Living in the states of Alabama, Georgia, & California, while holding close ties throughout the Midwest and beyond, "A-Ture" is here to present to the world a humble yet critical and blunt perspective with his new album "A Cultureless Culture". Not positive, negative, "conscious", hard, or soft...BALANCED is the word he would best describe his approach of this journey defined life. To put it in his own words, " Don't claim to be no gangsta, don't claim to be no thug, but I'll hop into some gangsta sh!%, and get your a$$ drug, for seeds i pop a slug, my folks I show them love, I'm the dirt they tripping on, that's been swept under the rug..."
