Shine Through
SoCal native Aloe Blacc – one half of mainstay indie rap duo Emanon – has evolved into a true Renaissance man with his solo debut, Shine Through. Dubbed "the indie R. Kelly" by online retailer Turntable Lab, Aloe integrates an amazingly broad spectrum of influences. His sound often forays into the digital R&B; realm, but always grooves with a tinge of Latin and the pulse of hip-hop.
