It's hard to believe that 8 Miles To Moenart is Tall Black Guy 's debut album! The man has been steadily creating exemplar beats on the illest collaborations.

He was born and raised in the city of Detroit, and after absorbing all of the soulfulness and musicality that seems to saturate that airspace, Tall Black Guy spent time in Chicago to perfect his craft.

8 Miles To Moenart has literally brought Tall Black Guy full circle. Detroit was where he started making music, and it’s to his hometown he returns to draw inspiration for his debut album. Taking in low-slung hip hop, downtempo house and jazz-tinged street soul, it’s a record of rare focus. Largely instrumental, he’s also added some choice collabs with Ozay Moore (formerly known as Othello) and Diggs Duke, bringing their own unique styles to the melting pot. This record encapsulates the musical heritage of Detroit, through the looking glass of Tall Black Guy's own signature sound.
Earlier in the week Tall Black Guy dropped the first single off his upcoming album 8 Miles to Moenart coming soon on First Word Records. The soulful track features Ozay Moore who some might know
