Rap is a storytelling medium, but, recently, the music from the genre that gets the most acclaim is often impersonal and apathetic. Thankfully, these are not characteristics we'd use to describe Bankie iZ's Little Boy In A Glass Jar. Rather, the album's thirteen tracks offer a window into the creator's deepest and darkest thoughts, while, overall, still feeling similar enough to modern hip-hop to be accessible—and unique enough to add something to the culture as well. You can listen to a selection from the album below, and we recommend you give the rapper's full album a shot HERE (tracks nine, eleven, and twelve are our other favorites).
