Awthentik lives up to his name while bringing bars and propelling truth on “The Color of Us.” The talented D.C. emcee weaves powerful prose over soulful and searing soundscapes and opts out of the gimmicks, faux lifestyles, and other ploys too many artists lean on to gain views, eyes and ears in today’s overly saturated rap sphere. The 9-track project is brimming with messages of perseverance and empowerment. Savor the sounds on this audio artisan’s potent project.
