Heems Pays Tribute To His Mother “VEENA” On Second LP Of 2024

by

Heems has just laid out a truly personal collection of tracks onto his newest album, VEENA. For those who don’t know, the project pays homage to his mother of the same name. In fact, she even as some spoken word bits on the record, including on the opening title track. She labels Heems the “poet of Queens”. That’s a very accurate description of her son, given how often his bars leave listeners with a lot to chew on, theoretically speaking. Besides showing love to the woman who brought him into this world, there’s a whole lot of other important and equally harrowing topics at hand.

“MANTO”, one of the four singles to VEENA, hears Heems talk openly about addiction, depression, and more. “I ask my dad why my grandma’s so quiet / I ask my mom why my grandma’s not smiling / I ask my therapist why I’m always wilding“. However, through all of this, you can tell that he’s got some hope for himself on songs like “RATATOUILLE”. “Life is beautiful I’m looking at flowers / I’m feeling like I got superpowers“. All in all, it’s a deep and intense listen, and definitely one of the best underground releases of 2024. This is also Heems’ second LP of the year, as it follows LAFANDAR, which ended a nine-year drought.

Heems Previews New Album Again With “Sri Lanka” Featuring Your Old Droog

by

Like a lot of rappers in 2024, Heems is on the path to a triumphant return with a big-time release. For the Punjabi-American underground MC, that moment is right around the corner. Heems has not put out a solo album since 2015 with Eat Pray Thug. When he puts out LAFANDAR, it would have almost been nine years to the day that Heems came through with an LP. What makes this comeback even more exciting is that it is a collaborative album.

Heems will be working with another multicultural talent, Lapgan. He is an Indian-American producer and will be handling the beats. Fans can expect the record on February 16 and to tide them over, he has two singles out. The lead song dropped back in late January. That featured Saul Williams and was titled “Accent.”

New York has so many corners of hip-hop, with underground being one of its most prevalent. That is where Punjabi-American rapper Heems has resided for his career. Overall, he has not been extremely active. He has delivered a decent string of singles over the past year as far as Heems’ standards are concerned. But, the last full-length tape we got from him came back in 2015 with Eat Pray Thug.

However, that is all changing after almost nine (!) years. Heems will be dropping a collaboration album with Indian-American producer Lapgan. The tape will be titled LAFANDAR and is due to be released on Friday, February 16. It will be an offering from Heems’ label Veena Sounds which is another exciting project of his.

Quotable Lyrics:

When premises betray promises, who do you run to?
Your feet are tired of running from hate
And they put a gun to your head and so you pray for peace
Become a piece of prey
Cried out, ‘How do you muster tears for today?’
Do I aspire to a hashtag of my memory?
