Perilbellum by 3rd Rel
The debut semi-autobiographical, socially conscious and emcee-centric laced hip hop album, produced, and written by performing artist 3rd Rel.
"Honestly I just decided to go forth and record a solo album after holding back for more than a decade. I picked up my mic, guitar and bass and arranged twelve songs to showcase my diversity in music within the realm of hip hop giving nod to my influences." -3rd Rel
