Franco-American rapper James The Prophet shares a new single “Tobago” that sees him working with Chester Watson. The track has a smooth mellow vibe ripe with moody strings, soulful textures, and a solid boom-bap drum groove to complete the mission. The rapper delivers an impassioned and laid-back flow as he dives into the concept of dealing with one’s daily struggle.

 

“Tobago” is a precursor to his upcoming debut album Unimaginable Storms on the horizon (out July 9 via Sony Music / Rupture)

Amidst a backdrop of richly colored beats blending jazz, soul, funk, and old school hip hop, James The Prophet’s new album Unimaginable Storms is eclectic, but unswerving in its consistency – holding 10 tracks on which James graciously slows the torrent of demons and visions. The title is a nod to the fact that beyond what may be apparent visibly, everyone is dealing with their private crises. James explains, “‘Unimaginable Storms’ represents the idea you could be six feet away from someone and have no idea what they’re going through. When I was 15 and 16 I started having really bad panic attacks and missed a lot of school, and when I explained it to my teachers a lot of them were really surprised because I didn’t give off that impression when I was with them.
