Aloe Blacc Shine Through

In the year 2006, after Chris Manak alias Peanut Butter Wolf; who is a prolific producer and label head;heard Blacc and immediately offered him a contract for the 2006 full-length album Shine Through. By then, Blacc had become more focused on songwriting, a change inspired in part by his social consciousness. “I was uncomfortable with the state of hip hop being largely about the expression of ego. I wondered how I could be more crafty at writing songs in the form of a rap that actually expressed more than ego, style and finesse,” he stated. “I figured I would educate myself to learn more about songwriting and apply that later to hip hop.”

Shine Through was Blacc’s first full-length album released in 2006. The album received significant media attention in the U.S. and abroad. Pitchfork wrote that Shine Through had “flashes of keen musical interpolation” and signaled “some sort of greatness”, NPR named the track “Nascimento” as song of the day, and Absolute Punk noted that Shine Through flows beautifully from one track to the next, infusing old-school funk and soul with an urban feel making it exceptional.
