Maryland rapper-producer redveil has spent four years in the spotlight becoming his most

confident self. After learning how to rap, play piano, and make beats as a teenager, he wowed

every corner of the internet with albums like Bittersweet Cry, Niagara, and learn 2 swim. His

fourth album sankofa—which is entirely self-produced and composed—presents redveil at his

most boisterous and introspective, digging further into his past in order to illuminate his future.

sankofa is the moment where he became more lyrically open and vulnerable, and most

comfortable exploring his musical ambitions, leaning further into live instruments, sessionmusicians, and professional studio equipment to sketch out the good and bad of life in his early

20s. These victories are hard-earned, but by the time sankofa ends, they feel as natural as

breathing.
