Nestled into the heart of Philadelphia’s music scene, The School of The Gifted exists as a powerful collective, seamlessly blending Hip-Hop, Neo-Soul, and Spoken Word. This talented group isn’t just making music; they’re creating a movement. Their combined and individual talents permeates through their lyrics and take root with listeners, encouraging introspection and emotional connection.
Lena L and Deek Westside gift us a change of pace. After hosting an intimate release party, The School shares SCHOLASTICISM. It features 6 songs, a brief yet impactful body of work. The pair encourage and aid society to re-imagine our thought processes. The EP is elevated by the narration of Chad Black, whose reflective anecdotes add an extra layer of depth and a feature from City Rominiecki that adds another layer of personality and vitality.
It’s a project that goes beyond surface level rap, inviting listeners to engage, reflect, and grow. With The School of The Gifted the leading the way, the future of conscious music feels bright.
