ABOUT OPTIMIST'S COOKBOOK
Optimist's Cookbook is Akil Nadir's fourth release since his breakthrough 2011 mixtape, The Orientation. As is always the case with the kind of music you've come from Nadir, Optimist's Cookbook is
full of introspective lyrics that encourage the spirit and speak with
deft clarity to the daily struggles of the everyman. With only four
tracks, spanning just shy of 14 minutes, this comparatively slimmed-down
work was designed to be enjoyed in its entirety during the morning
commute---a great way to get your day started!
Optimist's Cookbook was
recorded at Humble Ardor Studio in Bowie, MD. "Scarface Dreaming",
"Lost in Love" and "The Glass House" were produced by California
beatsmith, Tony C, for Maseed Productions. Maseed has provided
production for a host of independent artists, including Lyric Jones,
Aliso Black, Chaundon and Punchline. "Bright White Light" was produced
by DMV-based heat-maker, Surock. Surock has laced for beats for such
up-and-coming local heavy hitters as yU (of Diamond District), Ra the
MC, Lyriciss, ProVerb and K-Beta.
