New Lukah

I was impressed with this album. Feel like Lukah's talent has reached new heights from when I first heard him.

He is progressing with every release. Such a dope artist.

That's on point!


"Temple Needs Water. Village Needs Peace. is a philosophical exploration into the essence of community, spirituality, and transformation. This 15-track collaboration between producer Real Bad Man and Memphis rapper Lukah meditates on themes of unity, leadership, sacrifice, and renewal. With contributions from billy woods (Armand Hammer), Adrian Utley (Portishead), Preston “P Groover” Crump (Outkast), and Shabaka Hutchings, this album ascends through personal and spiritual achievements, delves into the duality of knowledge, the unseen forces, and the cyclical nature of life and death. The album reflects on growth, resilience, duty, ancestral wisdom, and the healing power of words, culminating in a celebration of inner peace and communal harmony. With a backbone of musically ambitious beats and soul-baring verses, this album carves its mark as the year's most enthralling listen.

Lukah’s storytelling on Temple Needs Water. Village Needs Peace. is top-notch, and it pushed me creatively in a direction I didn’t expect to go in” Real Bad Man revealed. “Getting to work with Adrian Utley from Portishead, Preston Crump from the Outkast records, and Shabaka Hutchings; and have them play across a variety of tracks on the record was a dream come true.”
