Some artists put everything they’ve got out there on the first couple of verses and let the beat tell the rest of the story. Others would just as soon spend a lot of time building up to the prose, often diluting whatever the message was with a lot of chest-pounding and unwanted machismo where it doesn’t belong. Rappers of all stripes have been relegated into a couple of predictable groups…

When starting up Willie and the Goodsouls’ self-titled release, I’ll admit I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a dangerous time to release something so unapologetically based in the genre of rock these days, and the artists that generally attempt such a feat sneak something abhorrently unexpected and mismatched from the rest of the album’s tone into the tracklisting to ensure success on the charts one way or another. As the eighth…
