21 LIL HAROLD RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM “AFTER THE CURSE”
After increasing anticipation to a boiling point, Atlanta’s hottest rising artist, buzzing rapper, and Slaughter Gang member 21 Lil Harold
The 12-track body of work spotlights his impressive progression both sonically and visually. Among many highlights, he sets the tone for the project with the intense, yet infectious opener “My Real Dawgs” [feat. Young Nudy]. Elsewhere, cinematic classical piano blazes through an ominous beat on the standout “Ain’t On None” [feat. 21 Savage]. He and the Slaughter Gang founder and GRAMMY® Award-winning multiplatinum rap superstar ignite an undeniable back-and-forth. Nardo Wick pulls up on the anthemic “Give No Fcks,” while the finale “Black Mobb” culminates with bright keys and upbeat rhymes from 21 Lil Harold as it illustrates his melodic sensibility.
