COULTRAIN-GODMUSTBEABOOGIEMAN EP

So many impressive hip hop projects have been released this year, but I’ve been secretly hoping more R&B would arrive in my inbox. Then St. Louis native, Coultrain, aka. Seymour Liberty answered my call with the EP GodMustBeABoogieMan. It’s Coultrain at his finest; soulful voice echoing through the speakers, making each track feel like a summer lullaby.  He collaborated with Black Spade, Teeko, J1 and others. The tracklist, artwork and all of the goodness is contained in the zip. Partake!
