P.A.T - P.A.T.M.A.N - @PatUniverse [Album Spotlight]




I feel that everyone in some way, shape, or form is misunderstood, but I feel that I’m very misunderstood and I wanted this poster to convey that emotion/mood.  While I feel that I’m not an overly complex person who’
extremely hard to understand, I do feel that people for the most part don’t really understand who I am, what I’m about, why I do some of things that I do and why I say some of the things I say.  I also feel that people often mistake me for one thing while I’m really another and that’s where the “America’s Nightmare” part comes into play - P.A.T

We received the latest full length album from P.A.T titled "P.A.T.M.A.N - Powerful Artistic Truth Misunderstood or America's Nightmare". This man is a jack of all trades as a musician and actor we take a glimpse into the mind of an artistic who speaks from the heart. The album touches on plenty of subjects such as relationships, politics and the music industry. P.A.T's style is very tongue and cheek, yet he shows so much emotion when putting his lyrical schemes together.  The album as a whole is sonically sound and flows well together, the production is on point and we see some great potential! 

PwrMov.es Top 3
1. Middle Finger - The track starts off with a soulful piano and melodic strings which sets the mood for a laid back track. P.A.T shows his lyrical ability on this track and rides the drum lines with ease. We see a lot of braggadocios and brody rhyme schemes that shows "wack rappers" with no talent where to go. I like the fact that there is no real hook in this song, but small breaks between the verses. This by far is our favorite joint off the album and reminds us of classic 90's boom bap. 


2. Ya Don't Stop - We start off with the melodic keys once again and then the stylings of a 90's boom bap anthem with "Ya Don't Stop" being said over a classic break beat. This brings me back to the early 90's, yet is fused with new school linguistics. We take a voyage into P.A.T's mind and go back to the 80's with references to Beat Street, LL Cool J, RUN DMC and Schooly D. This is one of those feel good tracks to reminisce     about the golden era of hip hop. 

3.  Pay Me  - The backdrop of "Pay Me" has influences of classic J Dilla production. This is a track for all the 9-5'ers who are sick and tired of the daily grind. P.A.T is trying to open eyes that the mainstream is something that is blinding the masses and how his job is to speak the truth. This is one of those songs that members of counter culture will appreciate and was a great start to the album.
