Caged Art by 7X3=21 + Therma

Caged Art is a collaboration between 7X3=21 (Vocals & Recording) & Therma (Beats, Cuts, Engineering), who originally met 10 years ago when Therma was a student in the Hip Hop Essentials class taught by Kevin Beacham (aka 7X3=21) at The Institute of Production and Recording.

The music is intense and moody, but also melodic, and also with just the right amount of brightness. The lyrics follow suit, mixing a blend of wordplay, life experiences, venting frustrations, celebrating progress, & pondering answers.

The shout outs/Inspirations from the liner notes also give some insight:
