The N-Word

Afroman

A stark departure from stoner comedy into heavy social commentary. Dusty boom-bap loops meet lengthy, unfiltered spoken word reflections on identity.

March 17, 2015

Find on Amazon

A weary but defiant exploration of identity that trades punchlines for heavy social truths.

Moments Worth Listening For
The shift from the artist's usual stoner persona to a gravelly, serious delivery on the title track.
The extensive, unedited interview segments that transform the final third of the album into a podcast-like oral history.
The way the soulful guitar lick on 'Brother's Gonna Work It Out' anchors a heavy lyrical pivot.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
