WesCoas'n: Styles Davis If Miles Could Talk Review

Wes Coas, the California born and bred MC recently released his 4th studio album entitled Styles Davis: If Miles Could Talk which loosely pays homage to the legacy of the late great jazz musician Miles Davis. The project is a collection of 11 sundry tracks that intend to solidify Wes Coas as more than just a West Coast rapper. The mash-up of conscious hip-hop and egocentric undertones fused between the album is a good way to please a new generation of music lovers. The album begins with an Intro “If Miles could talk he’ll tell you where I last been, and tell you bout’ my last sin.” One can only imagine where he has been as Miles Davis had his share of troubles throughout his career battling the sins that come along with the fame and fortune of the industry.
 However, Wes Coas does a great job of being a relatable rapper unlike many today who are focused on pushing their million dollar cars, homes, and overly expensive liqueurs down our throats. "In making this album I wanted it to be a voice to the people and let them know that someone else is walking that distance with you. A lot of times as artist with music we continuously put these ideas out but don't have any substance behind them. This album is about controlling your own destiny, questioning yourself, as well as enjoying life.” Previous projects such as Manifest Destiny also encourage listeners to better themselves and their future. I've always made music to inspire, but this time it was about inspiring a feeling “says Wes Coas. The track “Celebrate” produced by Best Kept Secret does a good job balancing the album’s subject matter with its feel good vibe and Tony, Toni, Tone sampled melodies. The current single “When I Knew” is a stand out as it is also Wes Coas’ current single. Many of the tracks on Styles Davis: If Miles Could Talk allow you to identify with Wes Coas the artist.
 Wes Coas has continued to grow his fan base over the past few years participating and headlining shows across the coast and as far as Osaka, Japan where he was actually nominated for Performer of the Year at the Kansai Music Conference. Wes Coas has been living in Houston, Texas since after he graduated high school and has found a way to elevate his Californication in the Land of the Trill touching as many people as he can with his craft. You can hear a few Texasisms’ sporadically throughout the project however it may be hard for some to decipher. Although many artists have been slammed by Texas natives in regards to the heavy use of screw and chopped music, Wes Coas is staying in his own lane and bringing a touch of the West to the South. Just like Miles Davis, Wes Coas assures his supporters that he will continue to put out quality music that will influence a generation to be great or simply just live life to the fullest.
