Erywon EssentialsErywon grew up under the influence of Eminem, J Cole and Jay-Z for the wordplay, for the imagination, for the heart and sense of community. Erywon has emerged as one of the rare rappers capable of harmonizing conscious rap. Erywon sounds serious if not trouble, like a regular guy trying to sift through difficult questions about fame, ambition, morality, life and relationship-with a moral imperative that borders on the evangelical. What shines brightest, though, is his confidence: I want to keep doing music every time, period. And to do it every time you have to challenge yourself, and you have to confirm to yourself-not anybody else-that you're the best.
