Dwele 'Sketches' Out a Sampler of His New Album

A few days ago, Koch released a 20-minute sampler of Dwele's forthcoming Sketches of a Man via YouTube, so I snagged the audio, naturally, and posted it here at the risk of having them send their packed roster of Southern rappers to my home to break my legs and call me things like "disloyal." All that aside, the new stuff sounds closer in spirit to Subject, with a little more bump and less of the Smooth Jazz approach of Some Kinda. Of note: Slum Village makes an appearance once again and the album includes "Open Your Eyes," the Bobby Caldwell remake Dwele did with The Platinum Pied Pipers.
