“Darker Liquor” by Flannel Albert: Of Vice & Men

I can’t begin to fathom the depths of Flannel Albert. Never mind I’ve known him for a few years now. The man has an emotional depth that most, including myself, have yet to even scratch the surface of. By now it’s common knowledge that he’s a remarkable writer. He’s mastered the art of false perception. Behind the playful composition and lilt of his melodic rap style, he buries some of the deepest parts of who he is. The darker parts of his melancholy.
