Heems (from Das Racist) has announced that his debut solo album, Eat. Pray. Thug. will come out on March 10 on Megaforce Records. The album features some help from Dev Hynes, Harry Fraud, and Rafiq Bhatia. With the announcement, he lets go of “Sometimes,” a track produced by Gordon Voidwell.
In a statement given to Pitchfork, Heems said:
“‘Sometimes’ is about dualities, identity and the space between spaces. Like so many other people, as a first generation South Asian in the U.S. I often felt like I lived two lives, an Indian one and an American one. I lived, at once, in and between two spaces and outside them as well. On another level, I also often felt like in America I lived in the space between black and white. Dualities are normal though. As fun as rap is, I can’t always feel happy. Sometimes I feel sad too. It also pays homage to hip-hop before me with cadences referencing both Nice and Smooth and Busta Rhymes.”
