Symba – 2 More Words [Album Stream]

[Traps N Trunks]

Bay Area-bred, LA-based rapper Symba, who can also sing, released his sophomore album, 2 More Words on Friday, September 4th. The album, which features Iamsu!, Marc E. Bassy, Young Gully, and more, is an honest, street-anthem filled album with production that leans from post-hyphy mob music like on “How You Rockin” to dramatic, key-swirling songs like on “Welcome To Fame” to the radio-friendly sound of “AFMN” to the big, sweeping, texture-charged song “We Ready,” which HotNewHipHop premiered.

“I’m from a place where local success means more than life itself,” explains Symba. “You know what it means to feel neglected? You count on yourself because you ain’t got nobody else to count on. That’s when you become allergic to being dependent. Allergic to favors. Allergic to hand-outs.” 2 More Words is the culmination of years of being in the independent rap game in the Bay Area and after learning some hard lessons, Symba is ready to forge ahead alone, relying on his own resources and skills. 2 More Words is aggressive, confident, reflective, and anchored.

The artwork for 2 More Words features cassette tapes of Symba’s favorite albums, stored in an old Adidas shoebox.
