🎶#ArtIsAWeapon Singer/songwriter/ musician @vanhunt dropped his eponymously named debut album two whole ass decades ago today (February 24, 2004), and it still goes HARD BODY!! This song right here perfectly described my then relationship 🤣 🔥🙌🏿🖤
What's your favorite track??
Reposted from @vanhunt 20 years ago, today, Capitol Records released my first record. the experience taught me that it's no one else's job to protect my ideas but mine. the album stands as the result of many, many people's efforts - who all performed their jobs supremely well, too. and i thank you.

My favorite section of my favorite record store from college was the used CD section. It was here that I got mint copies of personal classics like Slum villages Fantastic Volume 2, Commons Like Water for chocolate and Van Hunts on the jungle floor and his self titled debut Van Hunt. This discovery occurred at a time was I felt like I was making up for lost time acquainting myself with all manner of America. Music I couldn’t easily get my hands on in early 00s America.
This brother is that freakish being that born amidst rhe all consuming power of influence but is able to carve a sound that centers a deep knowledge of the black American canon as well as a mastery of instrumentations. A musician whose music could easily exist alongside Curtis Mayfield or alternative acts like Goodie Mobb or Common.
His career never quite took off like fellow travelers like say Lenny Kravitz or D’Angelo but both during his major label era and his self released content this brother who I think is married Halle Berry is the kind of person people need to peep.

"Babe, are you ready yet? Robin's already at the Wheeler's and we still gotta stop at the store for candy." Steve stands in front of the bathroom mirror, trying to get his hair slicked back just right, before securing Eddie's folded bandana around his forehead and finishing the look with a white construction hat.
"I think the Sinclair's are gonna do like a joint thing? I don't know, Nancy has the details, but we're setting up tables in the front yard." Steve waits for a reply, but frowns when he's met with silence. "Eds?"
He walks into their bedroom to find it empty, Eddie nowhere in sight. "Babe?" He checks the guest rooms, downstairs, the kitchen. Steve looks out the window over the sink and sighs when he sees Eddie's van gone.
"Asshole," he mutters to himself. "Could've told me he was going ahead." He checks himself in the mirror by the door and smooths down his fake mustache before grabbing his keys and throwing his jacket on.
He unlocks the Beemer and tries to ignore the feeling of eyes on him.
-
Maple Street is already packed with kids by the time he gets there. He pulls into the Wheeler's driveway and is even more confused when he doesn't see the van. Nobody at the house as seen him, either, and Steve pushes down his worry as he helps Karen and Sue stock the candy bowls.
As the night progresses, there's still no sign of Eddie. The kids come by a couple times but they haven't seen him either. Steve sneaks around the back of the house for a smoke when it gets closer to curfew. What if something happened to him on the way? He takes a nervous drag and a flash in the woods catches his attention. Immediately, he's on alert, eyes scanning the treeline.
It happens again. Against his better judgement, he investigates.
Leaves crunch under his shoes the further into the woods he gets. The hair on the back of his neck stands up, the feeling from earlier back. His stomach drops and his hands shake, cold washing over him as his eyes dart across the darkness.
He's being hunted.
He keeps his breathing under control but there's a swoosh from above and Steve suddenly finds himself face down in the dirt before he can scream. He thrashes and tries to knock whatever it is off him, desperately grasping at the dirt. Then, there's a hand on the back of his head and low, familiar chuckling in his ear.
"Looks like I win."
Steve's body goes limp with a muffled groan. The hand on his head disappears and he rolls over to see the smug grin on his boyfriend's face. Eddie's eyes flash red in the darkness and his grin turns feral, like the predator he is.
"Whadda'ya say, Stevie? Gonna let me suck your blood?"
