Shout out to the home team! Money Earnin’ Mount Vernon’s own Breeze Mantana is back with ACQUIRED TASTE. Entirely produced by TROX reppin Portland, Acquired Taste started brewing at the top of this year. Breeze Mantana took his time stirring the pot with this one.
“TROX’s sound reminds me of everything I love about Hip-Hop and the ‘90s/2000s era without sounding dated.”
The nostalgic theme of Acquired Taste ties in perfectly with the album’s artwork. Painted by 360bags, the acrylic impasto painting gives homage to Breeze Mantana’s love for the “American Cup” Prada shoes.
“This was my 1st designer shoe I got around ’02. I wanted to pay homage to my childhood. I also had a project entitled ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ from 2006 that I regretfully never released.”
Acquired Taste lives up to its moniker. Decadent verses delivered by Breeze Mantana, upscale dialogues for interludes, and features from 100GrandRoyce, Maze Overlay, and Marcus Stokes. Get a sneak peek on the vibes on “With Love from Miuccia” (Track #3). Pre-order the album on Bandcamp before its official release date on 9/26.
