Lincoln Way Nights

Fresh from signing with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Empire, Ohio's own Stalley is bringing Lincoln Way Nights to retail. The album marks a new turn for Stalley, the Bruce Springsteen of rap. After sharing the personal story of his transition from Ohio to New York City with The Autobiography, Stalley takes the listener back to the small town where he grew up, Massillon, Ohio. Massillon is a town known for its blue collar work ethic, steel factories, American muscle cars and a love for hard 808 kicks. Stalley linked up with producer Rashad (from Columbus, Ohio's the 3rd) to create a sonic aesthetic that matches. With Stalley's sharp songwriting and poetic lyricism and Rashad's cinematic Midwest-tinged production not to mention Rick Ross's co-sign and guest appearances on LWN, Ohio may have to anoint a new King.
