“The person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The person who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever seen before” – Albert Einstein

Walking up the fairway the crowd leans in to catch a glimpse. The tee, the ball, the club and the endless green stretching out in front. The crowd leans in further phone cameras eagerly clicking away. The golfer steadies himself and brings both hands to the brim of his hat. This shuts out all the spectators from his field of vision leaving only the ball and green to focus on. The noise of the crowd silences.

Bless Picasso, the King of Tidewater, delivered a masterpiece with Rillest in the Room One. The noise from fans or critics can tempt one to return to the same palette, use the same brushes once again. Fall victim to hype and predictability like making The Hangover Part II, same story, different country. Rillest in the Room Volume Two is different.

Bless elevates not only with growth, maturity but also a vulnerability in his penmanship, while remaining true to the production sound originated with Volume One. With less features on this album, the listener is able to focus more on skills that Bless so elegantly displays. Brushing off just servicing fans and instead he challenges not only himself but the audience while always remaining entertaining.
