14kt: morning meds
Francisco Espregueira
14KT leans inward on Morning Meds, a deeply personal release on Karat Gold Music that trades beat tape energy for something more reflective. Known for his roots in Detroit’s hip-hop scene and affiliations with crews like Athletic Mic League, 14KT has always balanced precision with soul. But here, the focus shifts. Built during early morning meditation sessions, the record unfolds slowly, guided by breath, stillness and intention rather than rhythm alone.
Across Morning Meds, jazz becomes a tool for healing as much as expression. Soft chords drift in and out, tones shaped by an interest in Solfeggio frequencies and their emotional pull. There’s no rush. Each piece feels like a quiet conversation, grounded in presence and subtle movement. Released via his own Karat Gold Records, the album sits comfortably outside the usual frameworks, offering a space to reset rather than react. It’s about alignment and a gentle reminder to pause and listen inward. Available on Bandcamp.
