The album is titled after the classic novel, “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison and features the standout singles “88 Soul” and “California Dreamin’” (video has over 200k views on YouTube) -

The video also is included on this enhanced CD.

As Quamallah himself states: “My favorite time period for Hip Hop music was de?nitely between 1983 and 1994 with 1988 and 1993 being two years that standout as extremely impressive years musically and culturally. The fashion, slang, movies, t.v. shows, and vibe during those years was incredible. while totally submerged in the feelings and music of that entire time period, I went to work on “Invisible Man” and I am excited for people to hear the result! It is an album that I would want to hear from some of my favorite artists of the past and present today. This is not a RETRO trip for me; this is me at my best lyrically and spiritually using the accessories of the 80’s and 90’s to fuel me. I am a ‘88 soul as the song states!”
