Sir E.U is not only someone I call a friend, but one of the most intelligent people I’ve had the pleasure to meet. He’s also greatly artistic, and blends his vast knowledge of world history with his homegrown D.C. roots and signature eccentric vision as an artist, combining for a smorgasbord of musings and clever rhymes that all add up for an entertaining and enjoyable listen.

His newest project, EBUKU, is the latest in a long line of projects from E.U, but this one is different—it’s E.U as fuck, but this is definitely a more mature Steven behind the mic; as both an artist and a person it seems. He buoyantly raps over the eclectic, at times glitchy production from a slew of DMV boardslappers and more.

What I love about his projects is that they stray away from the typical skeleton of projects that people put out these days. I don’t wanna say there are universal archetypes on every album, but often there are different tracks that are made to appeal to different kinds of people, and I’ve noticed it kinda limits the creativity of the artist because they’re trying to fit into that one box that’s going to appeal to X amount of people. Well, that goes entirely out the window with E.U, and I fucking love it.

EBUKU is an audible illustration of Sir E.U’s one-of-a-kind personality and flavor as an artist, and it’s really great. I’m mad excited to hear what he comes with next, because I know it’s going to be ridiculous and intricate in all the best ways.

RIP Avi. Catch EBUKU below & enjoy!
