Vagabond Maurice | A Garden at the End of the World

Vagabond Maurice | A Garden at the End of the World

In the heart of the autumnal breeze, and after a series of loose singles, our hero has returned for his meditative third album, A Garden at the End of the World. Nurtured by nature (rain, flowers, mud) and full of inward reflections as well as outward wisdom, the album is a practice in finding and defining happiness. Executive produced by Brad Kemp (with additional production by Emperor Bohe, Manny Beats and a wealth of musicians), the dreamy and jazzy hip-hop album completes the album trilogy and properly connects enchanted lands. A Garden at the End of the World is an introspective and thoughtful auditory experience unlike any other, both within the Windy City and beyond.

Vagabond Maurice's newest track, "Session 09 - Hagakure" (produced by fellow Chicago musician Uymitsu), ventures down a dreamy city avenue composed of smooth piano, a contemplative jazz trumpet, and meticulously written lyrics reflecting on nostalgia, enlightenment, nature, and the self.

"This tape is a response to the beginning of the end of the world. It has very little to do with drugs, shooting and killing my own people, or degrading women. 80% of the album is eschatological, 10% Love, 5% Paranoia and 5% Bravado. It leans much closer towards gospel than hip hop. One must fight shaytan with his own tools. Praise The God."
