简介:  “Eastside Delicacy” is a cohesive tale that tells a very similar story line to those seen all over black America. Produced by Mississippi native, Flywalker, “Eastside Delicacy” features Oklahoma artists Jabee, Chris McCain, Kemp, Fresh and the delicately voiced Ellesse. Many songs on the album like “Black Star” examine tough subjects like gun and gang violence, as well as the self-healing people must face losing loved ones to it. On the song, “Constitution”, Grand National raps about the conflicts and misunderstandings that happen on the Eastside every day, declaring “…that’s just the way it goes,” to explain the actions of Eastside natives. Influenced by his father, who speaks street wisdom on several “Eastside Delicacy” interludes, Grand National wrote “Diamonds”, also called “Free Bop”, as a reference to his younger sister’s father, who is facing significant prison time. Rather than blaming actions and behavior on the belief that people are born bad, it was important for Grand National to emphasize that they are simply playing the hand life has dealt them. Additional collaborations on the album include saxophone by Chris Hicks, bass from Brandon Brewer and violin by Darl Dorsey. "Eastside Delicacy’s" production is soulful and reminiscent of nostalgic 90’s hip-hop, and the content is delivered originally from Grand National’s point of view.
