Oakland, California story teller Legendvry releases his newest body of work, “Præy for the Weæk“. Using a sound garnered to the hyphy movement that originated in his native area, Legendvry pays homage to his musical roots and adds aggression reminiscent of earlier rappers from the Golden Age of Hip-Hop music.With West Coast production behind the lyrics, this 7-track offering serves as Legendvry’s open letter to the world. The Bay area emcee comes from humble beginnings and intends to take on any form of opposition on his journey towards destiny. Forgive those against the progress of the young legend, for they know not what they do. Pray for the weak..
Themes of Black unity and resilience course through Legendvry’s latest work. For the past year, the Town native has been working on his EP, Præy for the Weæk, which he’s self-releasing on July 28. Amid high-energy hustling anthems, it contains reflections on the impacts of systemic inequality — evictions, gun violence, and a lack of educational and economic opportunities that leave people feeling disenfranchised and hopeless. But in acknowledging these realities, the EP emerges as a robust, defiant rallying cry for change.”
