Baltimore Hip-Hop legend Born King delivers Acquired Taste, an album that pairs his creative rhyme style with Baltimega's gritty beats to form a cohesive body of work that's ear candy for true Hip-Hop heads. Over Baltimega's immaculate production, Born King drops potent lyrical darts that showcase his wit on tracks like "Acquired Taste" and "Breaking Bread," while offering cautionary tales about materialism and street life on songs like "Liquor and Designer Fashion" and "Fly High With Me."

Acquired Taste is a worthy addition to the canon of classic albums that define the neo boom-bap genre. Fans of Roc Marciano, Griselda, and The Alchemist will feel at home, yet Born King stands apart with his original voice, style, and perspective.

Listen to Acquired Taste on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, or any streaming platform—and enjoy a sonic treat you won’t soon forget.
