Eccentric songsmith and rapper Heath McNease releases new album

RAPPER and singer/songwriter Heath McNease, who last year released three independent albums, has put out 'Thrift Store Jesus', which he describes as his "most mature" work to date. Said McNease, "With every release I've tried to take another step in my evolution as an artist. I've never been interested in 'changing my style' or 'reinventing' what it is I do, because for a vast majority of my audience. . .it's tough to pinpoint exactly what it is I'm doing in the first place. It's tough for me sometimes too. But what truly makes this album stand apart is that, for all intents and purposes, it will be the first predominantly hip hop record I've ever created that is almost completely joke free. There are just a few moments of levity on this album."
