HMZA. releases ’23’ album, beats by Durazzo, Gelapi & more…

California rapper and instrumentalist HMZA. (@hasta_la_pasta) released a new album entitled ’23’. Guest appearances from Gee., Atosa, Gyro, Durazzo, Edgewize, Gelapi, Miswaa, etc.

Click here to stream ’23’ on your platform of choice: 23 by HMZA.

For the project, the 24 year old emcee teamed with a variety of producers, to fashion a soundscape that’s psychedelic, and even quite experimental at times, when compared with contemporary rap releases. You won’t find nursery rhyme lyrics, misogny, triplet flows or barrages of hi-hats and 808’s on 23. Instead, HMZA. steers the record into less-charted territories, peppering the experience with sounds of soul, synth wave, alternative and indie rock styles, balanced with traditional ‘boom-bap’ style beats.

The nine track collection includes collaborations with vocalist Atosa (on the tracks ‘Eternal Sunshine’ and ‘On My Level’) as well as a handful of California’s freshest emcees including Edgewize, Gyro, as well as SM co-founder Gee., who worked closely with HMZA. on the writing of record, and appears as a guest on 3 tracks. Stay tuned for videos, merch and tour dates.
