The Clarence Greenwood Recordings

Citizen Cope

A dusty fusion of hip-hop breakbeats and soulful acoustic folk. Raspy, late-night vocals narrate stories of urban struggle and quiet resilience.

September 14, 2004

A weary but resilient urban soulfulness that finds beauty in the grit.

Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, rhythmic thud of the drum machine entering on 'Bullet and a Target' creating an immediate sense of urban tension.
The vulnerable, almost whispered delivery of the chorus in 'Sideways' that feels like a private confession.
The way the acoustic strumming locks into the boom-bap percussion on 'Son's Gonna Rise' bridging folk and hip-hop.
