Khaleel Mandel Flies High on Latest Album “Close the Book”

Artists with a genuine love for music have no fear of making something new and different. As the lines of the genre fade away and the artist will go in any direction he sees fit. One such artist is Khaleel Mandel, who does just that, and recently released his new album “Close the Book” which is an accumulation of all his experiences.

The 26-year-old from Boston Massachusetts has created his own alternative hip hop experience that borrows from other styles, including rap and dream pop. It is purely the Khaleel Mandel sound.

Although the entire album is a real body of work, “I Deserve You” is our favorite track. It’s a gripping piece that sees a talented artist sharing his love and intentions for the woman he really loves.

“I Deserve You” is full of heavily distorted synths, so the song sounds like a glittering track from Tron, and displays the musical dexterity of Khaleel Mandel. He is not limited to traditional boom-bap or trap beats and can combine genres and shapes to suit his aesthetics.

Khaleel Mandel is a rapper who is sure to strike a chord with all people, either musically, visually, or lyrically. Be sure to follow him and listen to “Close the Book” for a hip-hop experience that you won’t soon forget.
