Virginia-based rap artists B Menace and Ave returned to the spotlight today releasing their highly anticipated collaborative album “Family Ties.” Hailing from Suffolk and Norfolk, respectively, the two artists draw on their shared experiences, channeling their struggles into a 48-minute project that is as relatable as it is motivational. “Family Ties” is available on all major streaming platforms headlined by songs “Family Ties,” “All We Got,” and “Lord Knows.”
Inspired by their day-to-day battles growing up, “Family Ties” captures the resilience and determination that shaped both B Menace and Ave. Throughout the album, you’ll find a central theme of triumph in the face of adversity, something both artists know well. B Menace describes the inspiration behind the album being, “The day-to-day struggles I went through growing up and the joy of being here to rap about it drove me to write these tracks.” Ave echoes this sentiment, saying, “It’s about remembering the sacrifices I had to make just to provide and survive. It’s a reflection of those hard times, but also a celebration of making it through.”
The vibe of “Family Ties” can be depicted as real, motivational, and mello as both artists wanted listeners to walk away from listening to the album feeling good and motivated, knowing that with some hard work, anyone can overcome obstacles. “I want people to understand that they can achieve anything they put their minds to,” B Menace explains, while Ave adds, “What makes our story special is how we got through. We all go through something, but it’s the survival and success that we’re celebrating.”
For fans of authentic storytelling, hip hop, rap, and raw, relatable music, “Family Ties” is for you. The duo has confirmed that visuals and additional content surrounding the album are coming soon, stay tuned.
