AWKWORD Returns to Rapping with 'an awkword shadow' EP
New Collaborative Album from AWKWORD and The White Shadow of Norway
For more than 20 years AWKWORD has consistently recorded and released independent Hip Hop music to critical acclaim. His debut album, the100% for-charity global Hip Hop project World View, was released in 2014 — to rave reviews from the likes of Complex, MTV, Village Voice, The Grio, The Fader, Prefix Mag, Urb, XXL, The Source, Vibe, Hot 97, Ego Trip ,and Okay Player. The first single, "Bars & Hooks", produced by Harry Fraud and featuring Sean Price and The Kid Daytona, has amassed more than a million views on YouTube alone; the first song on the album, "Gas Land" (about fracking), produced by Numonics and featuring Chaundon, reached the #1 spot on the college radio Hip Hop charts.
Now, after a dozen years, AWKWORD is back — with a collaborative EP with The White Shadow of Norway, an awkword shadow, dropping on the 12-year anniversary of World View, February 17, 2026!
The album will be available on the AWKWORD bandcamp, as well as on all streaming platforms. (Surprise guests to be announced.)
