There Are Gods Amongst Us

Emanuel Xavier, a close friend of mine, will be releasing his first album in a couple weeks. It's spoken word over music. Honestly, I never thought of myself as someone that would ever enjoy spoken word, but his frank and honest work won me over. The musical backdrop is just the cream cheese icing on the red velvet cake. The album will be available for download on December 15, 2009 via CDBaby, where it is currently available for streaming. So go check it out, show some love this holiday and support a truly gifted artist.
