It's been too long! But if you know me, you know I'm going to Keep It Blazing.
That's what I'm doing on this new single off the upcoming EP, Re:Emergence, produced by Chosen One.
Listen to Keep It Blazing on my Bandcamp and all streaming platforms! https://t.co/ZYgKS0Lxmo
🎙️ MIC CHECK THURSDAY — TOMORROW AT 8PM ET
We're going live with a legend. 🔥
Tomorrow's guest: Five Steez @FiveSteez (Jamaica)
We're talking culture, the movement, and what it means to build hip-hop as a global bridge — not just a genre.
📍 Catch it live on IG:@hiphoploves
at some point political rap became corny. Logic, Macklemore, Childish Gambino are all possible culprits. but regardless, the world is literally on fire and i can't remember the last hit rap song that made even a fleeting reference to our predicament. it is disappointing tbh
even the underground tends to rap about world events more cryptically and metaphorically. there aren't many artists right now you could say were continuing what Public Enemy or Pac or Ice Cube or Dead Prez or Immortal Technique or The Coup or Above The Law started. I wonder why🤷
in terms of hip hop history, the 2020s gotta be the weakest decade when it comes to political rap. you rarely hear any major hits reference wars or global warming or any of the big issues of the day: in many ways, it feels like rap as a genre is closer to being apolitical rn
