This time around everything is produced by Khrysis (Jean Grae, Evidence, Talib Kweli, Elzhi). His last album – with Ugly Heroes – was produced entirely by Detroit’s Apollo Brown. Verbal has always been one to lock in amazing production. Sound of the Weapon is Verbal Kent’s most complete album to date. The Sound of the Weapon is an unabashed look at living through anything and loving everything. Far from a nihilist, Verbal finds meaning in the everyday struggles he and his city live through – adding to it hard-line braggadocio, comedic flare, and social awareness. It’s been 10 years since that incident changed Verbal Kent’s life, and now The Windy City is back in the news with unprecedented violence these past few years. The impact of course was unimaginable an incident like this shades everything going forward for some time. He received nearly 100 stitches, the blade of the knife missing the jugular by a mere centimeter, and took months to recuperate. Kent managed to make it to Saint Francis Hospital as blood poured from his neck. A decade ago, while walking down an empty alley near Clark and Pratt in Chicago, Verbal Kent had his throat slashed with a knife by an acquaintance.
