In the first song of his new album, Highly Sensitive Person, Lamar Woods introduces the theme in the first line of his rap: “I had my first panic attack at 35. I thought I was gonna die.”Looks dire, right? But listen to the intro about holding the world together with love, followed by a chiming, R&Bish, slightly funky build up, then get the finish to the line about dying, which is, “like Ryan at the end of Drive,” and you don’t know what’s coming next but you know it ain’t gonna be dire.Lamar, who has had a successful career in television and movies, has continued his return to music with this fun, funny, hugely diverse, 19-track hip-hop exploration of panic and anxiety.His album is all about mental health, but he does it in style, and many musical styles, and with humor, including three hilarious skits.The single released to tease the album, “Don’t Give Up On Me,” featured one aspect of high sensitivity: relationship avoidance.Support the show

It comes from the four track, self-titled EP that was released in March, and is intended on being a “stream vaccine” that everyone should go get a dose of.“I want listeners to remember this song, and be like, this is a guy who covered a topic that affected us all,” Regal Rapstar said. “This isn’t just like a regular rap song. It’s like a missile. This isn’t like throwing a firecracker. It’s like a serious potion. That’s for real.”Support the show
