Seattle hip hop artist Jawaan LaRue has just launched his CD, Saturn Returns. A 2010 4Culture Individual Artist Projects award recipient, LaRue’s is known as an adept wordsmith, with positive lyrics, influenced by his experiences serving overseas.
LaRue enlisted in the army upon graduation from high school, and spent eight years in the service. During a tour of duty in Iraq in 2004 and 2005 he recorded an album, but it was never released. He’s been working hard ever since to write and perform amazing hip-hop music. He celebrated the launch of Saturn Returns last weekend at Chop Suey.
