Brave Star by Artson

After earning three Native American Music Award nominations and walking away with the Nammy for Best Narrative Music Video, Artson follows up his last EP, E.A.R.T.H., with a new album that once again exceeds great expectations.
In reflection of the ongoing turmoil tearing at the fabric of our society and the injustices facing the Native American people taking center stage, Artson releases Brave Star. The album pays tribute to Mos Def & Talib Kweli’s 1998 Black Star album and it’s message of empowerment for the African-American community and inner city youth at the time. As we celebrate the 20-year anniversary of such an iconic Hip Hop album, Artson once again gathers his fellow indigenous artists to create a timeless masterpiece to uplift the culture and community.
The new album features several other renowned Native American emcees, including RedCloud, Quese IMC, Def-i and Wake Self. It takes you on a sonic journey, showcasing incredible lyricism, diversity and perspective.
Tracks like “We Gather” and “Right Now” leave you ready to stand up for the things you believe in, while “Home”, “Lonely Road” and “City Streets” force you to reflect on the turbulence of the past and the inner battles that lead to self-destruction. “Celebrate,” “The Drum” and “Round We Go” balance the intensity of other heavy-hitting tracks with the feel good vibes Artson’s fans have always cherished. He reminds them that despite the challenges we face as a nation, it’s important to reach deep into their spirit to rekindle their love for this culture and each other.
