Montreal and Miami | August 5, 2022 - Senior (aka James William Awad) announces today the release of his new album, Ostrogoth. It features some of hip hop’s heaviest hitters.
“This album is not just 2 years of experience in the music industry, but 28 years of my life,” says Senior. It speaks to inner strength, staying true to oneself and art as a medium to power through darkness.
Ostrogoth: Part 1 will be available everywhere (distributed via Audiosalad) on August 5th, with 15 tracks featuring Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, YK Osiris, Lil Baby, and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. The album includes tracks produced by ATL Jacob, named one of Billboard’s Hot 100 Producers of 2022, Senior and Lens Dupuy.
The album title is a reference to Roman-era Germanic conquerors from the 5th century. Of the title Senior says “When you think of the Ostrogoths, they were wild and brutal in their quest to survive. As an artist the journey to making your name can be brutal - from the failures to the haters - but you have to reach deep and find the confidence to soldier on.”
The Ostrogoths thrived and took power during a period of instability, much like the making of this album during the pandemic. “It is in these moments of doubt and darkness that you channel strength from the deepest parts of yourself to power through. These songs are fighting words for the haters.”
