19-year old Lorenzo Moore (pictured above), better known as The Renaissance, dropped this tape last year. A college student who’s dropping some dopeness (I can relate, so disclosure: I’m slightly biased towards feeling the energy because of this), The Renaissance’s Social Colour tape feels like some new-school jazz-rap mixed in with “the old Kanye” and a bit […]
