"\u201CI like to tap into people\u2019s imaginations. When I spit, I try to make movies with my words\u2026\u201D Armed with his unique delivery, gruff voice, and sharp wit, U.G. is well-equipped to do just as he wishes when he hits the booth. Whether on his own or earning critical acclaim as one-half of the Cella Dwellas, the Brooklyn rapper has been a giant amongst the NYC rap underground since \u201994. And on Portals, his long anticipated solo debut, he proves exactly why so many look his way for music that\u2019s incredibly fresh, and completely his own.\nPortals is a 14-track journey into just what U.G. set out to accomplish\u2014a movie-like atmosphere anchored by well complemented production (entirely from IDE) and extraordinary rapping. That much was evident on lead single, \u201CThe Mystic,\u201D which is equally eccentric in its wordplay and technical displays as U.G. flows over the creeping instrumental. Elsewhere, the BK spitter taps into his cinematic vision with joints like the harrowing \u201CMight &amp; Magic,\u201D and the super-grimy, \u201CReady for War.\u201D\nInterestingly enough, U.G. credits his movie-like approach with what makes his music so appealing to his fans. \u201CThat inner-kid comes out of them when they hear that stuff,\u201D he says. \u201CWe (U.G. and IDE) are both visual artists as far as our approach to sound is concerned.\u201D\nBeyond the concept, the rapper and producer just love Hip-Hop culture and wanted to represent it right. They may be taking a Boom bap excursion into another dimension\u2014and likely one in a distant galaxy\u2014on Portals, but this is pure, raw, unadulterated Hip-Hop to the bone gristle.\nPortals is set to drop Oct 21st via Creative Juices Music, and will be available on Compact Disc as well all major digital retailers and streaming platforms. Its features include Mista Sinista, DJ White Shadow, Celph Titled, Life Long, and Necro."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
