New Jersey emcee Josiah the Gift and Perth, Australia producer SB11‘s cut “Humble” presents a standout from their recent LP God Is Gracious, which caught our attention for its soulful sonics and passionate vocals. Laced with a textural instrumental from SB11 containing wistful, elegant vocal samples, infectious bass, and organic sounding percussion, Josiah delivers captivating verses full of emotion and urgency. He shines as a lyricist, with detail-rich and vivid lines that take a critical look at his life and times as well as the world around him, bolstered by the potent production. A track that maintains a raw, gritty lo-fi feel while staying graceful and smooth in sound, “Humble” makes for a highlight joint from their collaborative album God Is Gracious, which dropped earlier this year. Give it a listen below.
