Amari Mar proves himself as a real savior of the game with his revolutionary new album, "Healers Of The Lost Art." Made at the infamous Dahitroom studio in Queens, NY, this 15-track opus is not your regular rap record- it’s a soulful experience beyond the confines of genre. Renowned for incorporating health consciousness and emotional honesty into his rhymes, Amari Mar is a special combination of intellect and vulnerability on the mic. "Healers Of The Lost Art" does precisely what it promises in its title, bringing the power of storytelling, truth, and reason back to hip-hop.
From the opening track, listeners are immersed in a meditative ooh-wah space of growth, love, pain, and self-awareness. The star track, “The Forbidden Fruit,” captures Amari’s intricate approach to wordplay and how he efficiently delivers complex metaphors. It reflects on temptation, transformation, and inner struggles with poetic edge-lord energy that demands repeated listens.
Another standout on the project is “Love Language,” which is soulful, candid, and full of introspection on the intricacies of communication in relationships. Across a warm, atmospheric beat, Amari speaks from an honest place, delivering non-didactic wisdom that feels both personal and universal. These emotional truths, couched in silken cadences and spotless production, lend the album its sense of timelessness.
As Healers Of The Lost Art's sound, mixing, and mastering are very cutting-edge and progressive, and push the boundaries, each track is crafted perfectly to bring out the sound of what the song is trying to convey without overbearing what it has to say. Taking from the boom-bap soundscapes to airy ambience, the sonic range is broad yet focused, making for a complete experience and never letting the listener be lax from onset to end. Pressed His Foot on the Pedal of a Nasty Porsche. It was not perched on a windowsill, shooting hoops, or even on a date, but Amari Mar didn’t follow a trend. He was poised to set a new standard.
