Will EQ drops socially charged Post Malone Diss "Whole Foodz - Gentrification of Hip Hop"

“Gentrification of hip hop: The process of appropriating the hip hop culture by others outside of the community for monetary gain all while excluding the culture’s originators and creators”

This is deep!!! Will EQ drops a socially charged video titled "Whole Foodz - Gentrification of Hip Hop". The song serves as clever middle finger to rappers like Post Malone and others that Will feels are raping the hiphop culture. The video stars a comical Post Malone doppelganger and a mashup of historically racist clips as Will EQ explains how Black music has been ripped off since Elvis til now.

Look out for more from this thought provoking young artist and follow his growing movement today!

In the fight for life and freedom, people are faced with many obstacles including the forces others place against them. Through the inspiration of what he has seen around him and what Black Hebrew Israelites are faced with, Ach Zamar was led to advocate for the people in a way he knows how best...through music. The self-taught musician through his song, “Where Can We Go” highlights the struggles faced and the pressures that are against us in our fight for freedom and success. He shows how to use our inner strength and power to help us conquer the odds against us and once freedom is granted, don’t stay stagnant but run your victory race until you reach where you want to go.




A passionate individual telling true life story through music...the language everyone understands. We should definitely look for more powerful words of wisdom from this artist. Ach Zamar recently talked with USA Blog Network. Listen to the in-depth interview today.

Take a introspective trip into the mind of Non-Fiction who gets reflective and at times emotional on his new single "Lead The Way" featuring J Dub.

There even includes a auto-tune driven bridge that serves as a detour between the two 16 bar versus, there's really something for everyone on here. This single will reportedly be on a collab project with J Dub, look out for that coming soon but for now enjoy "Lead The Way" below.

California Purp (@california_purp) - Winning

His name may be California Purp but he reps Burlington, North Carolina. Despite being from a small town, Purp has a big sound with a lot of range. "Winning" is a testament to his ability to make hits and craft bangers with a strong hook and a clear good ear beats. It is noticeable that Purp has been working on his pen game for awhile with a full lyrical display of slick wordplay and polysyllabic rhyme schemes. Formally known as Crime Luciano, Purps persona is mafioso and the detail in his rhymes are too clever and specific to be fabricated. "You still with them nicks (Knicks) like Pat Ewing at the Garden/Zips of the yay for 13, James Harden" Purp raps in his second verse. If you're into quality bars and something to get you feelin' yourself, California Purp "Winning" is the record for you. Check out the single below and look for more coming soon from the North Carolina emcee.

Stream DollaSign Dee (@dollasigndee254) New Project "I Wonder"

I Wonder starts with a motivational phone call from what sounds like one of DollaSign Dee's OG's.

Salt-N-Pepa amazing new remix that inspires and empowers "Big Girls"

When it comes to naming any of the first female innovators of Hip Hop, Salt-N-Pepa had better be on that list. The New York duo (trio if including DJ Spinderella) blasted onto the music scene back in 1985. They were one of the very first all female Hip Hop groups and shot up the charts with their infamously classic hit, "Push It". Over their career span, they went from underground emcees to becoming an influential powerhouse within the pop realm with songs like "Let's Talk About Sex" and the En Vouge featured, "Whatta Man". After a lengthy hiatus from 2002 to 2007, the ladies returned to the spotlight and this time, it was for their very own show on VH1 entitled, "The Salt-n-Pepa Show".

After reuniting and performing on numerous tours and awards shows, the ladies dropped some new music. During that time frame, the "Big Girls" single surfaced. The tune is an ode to all the boss ladies out there. Performed in true Salt-N-Pepa fashion, the duo exchanged verses in their confident bravado. The song finally found itself in the remix world with a Wiz mix that placed the song over a vintage Hip Hop based instrumental. The song can be heard on YouTube. -Barry Quigley

Touch the Sky - A Midwest Mindset by Omega McBride

Touch the Sky - A Midwest Mindset by Omega McBride

Touch the Sky - A Midwest Mindset by Omega McBride

Or touché, Lupe cool as the unthawed

But I still feel possessed as a gun charge

Come as correct as a porn star

In a fresh pair steps in my best foreign car 

-Lupe Fiasco 

If “Life ain’t meant to come around twice” [Lupe’s Food & Liquor], then that must mean there’s always something worth looking forward to, somewhere up ahead. We tend to replay certain lines over again, in our heads or aloud on our too many media devices that captures our attention and often strikes an emotional chord within us. This is usually best delivered through short story formed rhymes and surprising vocal risks taken through different forms of communicating the message of the song by the artist behind the music and, in turn, creates an amazing experience for the listener called “Replay Value”.

After dropping his Debut 3x GRAMMY nominated Album Food & Liquor, along with releasing the Hit “Kick Push” as the2006 Album’s lead single, Lupe Fiasco and producer Soundtrakk had begun to lay the foundation for what would become an impressive statement made and new standard set in Hip Hop Culture for not only the conscious community but communities abroad. Between the ear snatching soulful instrumentals, over your head rhyme patterns peeling the brain back, a Jay – Z co-sign and an eccentric sense of global appeal gaining steam around the Lupe Camp, it was clear to the world that we were witnessing a phenom whom had been awaiting his time to tell the world not only his own personal story but also the stories of those experiencing hardships not far off from each other. From very early on in his musical career and having commercial success, Lupe offered supporters life solutions; Alternative ways of thinking or living lives with positively empowering purpose, while yet still in with The Cool.

Looking back, it seemed to first be Lupe’s guest appearance on Kanye West’s Touch The Sky in the early part of 2006 that set the Hip Hop world ablaze and opened our eyes to a 20-something Emcee who was very unapologetically confident about his purpose for arriving, courageously displaying an eye-popping perspective on penning his commercial rhymes with what some consider complicated patterns or lyrics. Here to “Come as correct as a Porn Star”, Lupe’s ability to ride the beat with an effortlessly engaging, conversational flow left us with something to both enjoy & think about it. His approach, using spoken word poetry for interludes on his albums to bring the central theme of what’s going on around us and the responsibility we have to create change is what made Lupe’s initial buzz or subsequent breakout success as an artist from the Westside of Chicago a force to appreciate.

Fast forward, in a day where many artists are said to seemingly be sounding either the same or extremely similar, Lupe Fiasco is an artist who in the past has found a way to establish and maintain his own voice amongst proven greats. With such an original delivery and outlook on the World’s woes; Classic Album covers, swagger trendsetting, incomparable Top Tier Lyricism and extensive Kung Fu Guru knowledge, it’s a wonder we haven’t heard more current events themed based music from the veteran Midwest storyteller. There being 6 years between Lupe’s 3rd LP 2011’s Lasers (#1 on Billboard 200) and 2017’s LP Drogus Light which is approaching its 1 year Anniversary, let’s have faith that one of Hip Hop’s most experienced emcees will find his way back onto the scene of New Music alerts in 2018 with leaks from the rumored upcoming album Trilogy, DROGUS. Lupe can sing, write, produce, arrange and get a message across in some of the most creative ways we’ve ever seen. The possibilities remain endless for him, objectively speaking.

Chicago is a City of many reasons to be operating as the highest version of yourself, especially if you are a native like Lupe is, overcoming Battle Scars and treating one another as if a Superstar. Lupe Fiasco is one of the best at being able to get a listener’s attention through anthem music and witty word play. As an avid supporter of his music and all around efforts to be of positive impact since he arrived on the scene 12 years ago, it would be dope to see the Chicago legend use 2018 as platform or blank slate to drop a Trilogy of music with hella “Replay Value”! In this current state of Hip Hop, a smack in the face or wakeup call for the Culture from one of the best to ever step inside of a booth or pick up a microphone could prove to be a good move.

One single at a time, this time, perhaps. Nonetheless, Lupe that time is now and now is always the best time to be great. I guess, we’ll see what happens. Continue courageously!

Etheprophet - "Young" @etheprophet

Etheprophet - "Young" @etheprophet

Etheprophet - "Young" @etheprophet

@etheprophet

"Young" is the first official single to release off of Etheprophet's debut mixtape, "Sage". The dark, hard hitting production from Syndrome fits perfectly with E's grotesque lyrics which depict the trials and tribulations he's faced within the music industry.

 

Etheprophet is an eighteen year old underground Lo-Fi Rap artist out of West Palm Beach Florida. Etp's official career began in early-2016 with the creation of "VBG" (the powerhouse WPB collective consisting of Babybonnie, Awk, Mackeyblues, S.Saik, & Cano). The members of VBG quickly started laying down track after track, catching some local buzz and showing that they were a force to be reckoned with. Using this momentum, Etp started opening shows for artists like: Skimasktheslumpgod, Killstation and Max P.

After about 6 months of opening slots; he stopped releasing music, performing and disappeared. What we soon discovered is that this period of silence was far from a break, he had been hard at work the entire time. Fast forward to November of 2017 Etheprophet returned with his grungy breakout hit "Deathcall", racking up an impressive 12k+ streams. This track set him apart from the crowd of 'Soundcloud Rappers' and established him a lane of his own. Be it his off-kilter lyricism, unique vocals, or simply just his style in general, there was something about him that the listeners connected with.
