On his new album Home is Where the Art Is, Substantial gets downright boastful: “I should be your first pick long before the second interview/Third LP’s a four out of five minimum.”

He isn’t lying. Released today, Home is Substantial’s third album—-an adult take on real situations, from marital spats to the community. Elsewhere, the Prince George’s County native reflects upon his life (“Grateful”) and family (“Umoja”). As a bonus, the album’s second track, “See Hear,” is being offered as a free download.

I’ll have a full album review in this week’s paper. Until then, listen below.
