We present to you Richmond, VA rapper BlackLiq and producer Dub Sonata’s collaborative LP titled “Much Given, Much Tested.” The 13-track album is Liq‘s most introspective work to date. He dives deep into his past in ways he’s never previously done, telling stories he’s kept to himself until now over complementary production from Dub.
They feature a diverse list of guests, including Atmosphere’s Slug, Napoleon Da Legend, fellow Richmond emcees Nickelus F & Noah-O, scratches by Tone Spliff, a rare vocal contribution from multimedia artist Michael Alan Alien, and additional production by Evening Elevator.
The artwork designed by Nadeneco takes inspiration from the “washing of the feet” ceremony as its starting point, and depicts a journey of the human experience. Emotions and stories woven throughout the course of life are expressed in “Much Given, Much Tested” through song, color, and composition.
