Download: noir. is black
Erick “Arc” Elliot presents “Noir.” In the midst of a game full of ‘rappers’ who are more concerned with singing their verses or convincing us all that they are an alien from another planet, it’s refreshing to sit down and hear a tape full of nothing short of straight forward, heart felt, authentic rap. No gimmicks, no nonsense-just the voice of a hungry, 21 year old, MC from Flatbush Brooklyn relating his day to day to the listener over some beautiful original production from The Remedy and Flash Frequency Music. For fans of rap and fans of old-fashioned-home-baked in a bedroom music in general, Arc’s Noir will not disappoint.
That’s the description that came with the tape but after listening to NOIR 10+ times, I can assure you that the description is spot on, it aint no gimmick. You may have never heard of Erick but you’ll be glad you did. Personal favorites are Orbital (I can put it on repeat and never get sick of it), Empty Space, All Over The Place, Fanfare and Traduction but that’s just me(!), I love the tape as a whole. Erick is getting nods from Illroots and even clothing company The Award Tour. Long story short: welcome Erick Arc Elliott, and noir. is black into your that home of yours you call iTunes (or whatever music player you may use haha).
