Jazz in Dirty Sneakers: A 12-track journey from the concrete to the clouds.

Body: "Jazz in Dirty Sneakers" is the debut LP from visual artist and poet Gold E. Blending the gritty texture of 90s Boom Bap with the lush, sophisticated chords of 70s Soul, this project defines a new sound: Future Vintage.

The album is structured in two distinct movements. Side A (The Pavement) explores the hustle, the cost of ambition, and the reality of the street corner, featuring tracks like the Mos Def-inspired "Game Recognize Game" and the raw storytelling of "The Hustle & The Cost."

Side B (The Sanctuary) shifts the frequency inward, moving into spaces of love, travel, and introspection. From the Chicago Steppers groove of "Faces and Places" to the swamp-funk grit of "A Black Man's Blues," the second half offers a sonic refuge for the soul.

Rooted in the "Gold E Philosophy"—where rhythm and texture outweigh perfection—this album is a love letter to the era of Love Jones, reimagined for 2026.

Featured Tracks:

"Little Ghetto Boy" (The Prayer)

"Unsmoked Dope" (Future Soul)

"A Black Man's Blues" (Swamp Mix)
