With all the momentum Caleb has gained since releasing his project & 2015 nearly coming to an end, it's only suiting that he breaks us all off proper with yet another audio drop before we wave goodbye to the year.
Caleborate's keen ear for production has played a distincitve roll in what has gone to really set him aside from many artists branching out of his demographic. His latest drop "Hold On", produced by frequent collaborators Kuya & Cal-A, helps display his versatile wordplay & ability to transition from one sound to the next, fluidly. With bragadocious rhymes that intertwine with the life he really does lead, Caleb talks about how everyone around his succombs to cliche's & fronts as if they know, but in reality, they truly do not know. What is there to know? We'll let him explain.
In the words of Caleborate himself:
Give me what you got (hold on). I'm, finna take your spot (hold on). Cause everybody got something to say, now y'all can't talk no more. And everybody wanna run the game, but y'all aint got no Coach. And everybody think they know me. Naw my n*gga, y'all dont know..
About Caleborate
(Berkeley, California) Caleborate is the solo musical project of Caleb Parker hailing from numerous areas of Northern California & breaking pavement in the Berkeley area. Caleborate’s music embodies the eclectic energy of the Bay Area--the smoothness of the classic “West Coast sound” along with the original roots of Hip-Hop. He began rapping at the age of 16, going from studio to studio doing whatever he could to continue honing his craft & building a collection of songs that would eventually become his first album, L.H.L.T. While in college, Caleborate stuck with his passions and released two more projects entitled "#theusual" and "Winter Break EP". These two collectives went on to become the latter of which helped him secure a position as 1 of 14 “Bay Area Hip-Hop Artists To Watch For In 2014” via Pigeons and Planes, along with many other local accolades, including a segment in SF weekly.
Caleborate has taken all of these success coupled with his life and turned them into a 12-track album entitled "Hella Good". This album features production from his long time collaborator, Willem Ardui, as well as the HBK Gang's Kuya Beats. Caleborate feels that "Honest music heals the soul" and has said that this is what keeps him rooted in doing what he believes in. As the journey continues, the ride just keeps getting better.
