Up and coming independent hip-hop artist, A-1, releases his brand new project entitled “The Thurl Tape”. Thurl is slang for the word Thorough, which is “To be complete.” For this project, A-1 has transformed the word from it’s original meaning into an all encompassing acronym: Think, Hustle, Understand and Really Live. The emerging artist believes these are the abilities a person or persons should possess in order to be well-rounded.

“The Thurl Tape” is an eclectic mix of body moving and thought-provoking music featuring timeless production from fellow creative’s WooStaar, ATG, Chance McCullough, Sick James, Flosstradamus, XXYYXX, Me Gusta, long-time troublemaker Davin Gruesome, and even A-1 himself. This project continues to show A-1’s evolution into musical prowess as he even shares an executive producer title with friend, producer, and designer WooStaar.

“Invisible Man” and “Don’t Be Scared” are a few of A-1’s dearest pieces of work on this project. He eloquently breaks down life experiences over advanced music production and proves with this project that music with a message can be beneficial and mind opening to people of all walks of life.
