This EP is unique. Thought Provokah combined all the great qualities of jazz, blues, soul, and solid hip-hop to form a powerful and down-to-earth collection of five tracks that are deeply rooted in faith, growth, and experience. This can be your jam—an interesting musical journey to strengthen your faith.
(G)iving (O)ur (D)ays (I)n (S)acrifice is designed for all the lovers of music who crave connection on a soul level. Though Provokah, as an artist who’s known for his fearless ventures toward genre mixes, has crafted this EP with utmost care. Through his musicality, he managed to express his experiences in life and personal perspective, which is both connecting with the listeners and uplifting because of its familiarity. With some simple structured beats and lines that express the idea of staying faithful and resilient even though life is hitting you left and right. This track is giving the kind of effect that will make you want to pause and reflect on how you’re doing and reacting toward situations in your life. A solid intro for the whole project.
“Attachement Style” comes in with its jazzy and soulful undertones beautifully wrapped and interlaced with Thought Provokah’s clear and satisfying rap delivery in the track. This track carries themes of realization of how they want their lives to be different from those experiences that they had around them. Worthy to note is the clever wordplay thrown on this track, which speaks volumes about the tier of skills that this artist has. Don’t miss out on checking out the tracks “Cane and Abel” and “Buttahs,” which are all equally packed like any other tracks on this release.
(K)illing [I]nfinite [D]reams closes the whole collection with its honest and straightforward take on the reality of having your dreams killed by the harsh reality. Let’s face it, pursuing passion is hard because of responsibilities, and through this track, the artist managed to perfectly capture the messy process of accepting, pushing, and pulling yourself toward your chosen path. The song suggests that even though reality can be too loud, with dedication and enough discipline to continue, you’ll eventually make it. This is the best way to end this whole project.
