Harlemite and Hip-Hop Veteran G Dep Performs New Album “Lessons Never Losses,” at I9ine Bistro in the South Bronx

Posted on by

(Photos by @Rawnyc) On Friday, February 28th, Harlem-born hip-hop artist and veteran G Dep performed his new album, Lessons Never Losses, at I9ine Bistro in the South Bronx. This marks G Dep’s first album since being released from prison, where he served 14 years of a 15-year sentence for a robbery that tragically resulted in the death of John Henkel who was shot in chest in 1993. G Dep, whose real name is Trevell Coleman, turned himself in for the crime in 2010, seeking to clear his conscience. In 2024, he was granted clemency by New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, allowing him to return to society and his music career earlier than expected. The listening party for Lessons Never Losses was a celebratory event, attended by a mix of influencers, family, friends, and longtime supporters. G Dep, also known as “The Deputy,” performed the entire album live, showcasing his resilience and growth as an artist and individual. The album’s intro, “Exodus,” sets the tone for the project, focusing on overcoming obstacles and embracing a brighter future. This theme of redemption and personal evolution resonates throughout the album. Some standout tracks include: “How Can I”: A soulful track that samples Lisa Fischer’s 1991 classic “How Can I Ease the Pain,” G Dep reimagines the song to convey how he provides comfort despite his own sorrow and struggles. “That’s the Old Me”: A reflective and catchy tune where G Dep sings on the hook, emphasizing his personal growth and transformation. “Highly Motivated”: A track that highlights his faith and determination, produced by G Dep himself. “Put That on a Shirt” : A creative and entrepreneurial anthem where he shares his hard-earned wisdom and lessons through merchandise-inspired lyrics. The album’s production is cohesive featuring contributions from various producers. Despite being incarcerated for over a decade, G Dep’s cadence, and delivery remain sharp. The event was a triumph, with attendees getting an exclusive first listen to the album before its official release on all major streaming platforms on March 4th. G Dep’s gratitude and faith were palpable as he raised a glass of champagne to celebrate the occasion, embodying the lessons he’s learned through his losses. As he often says, “Praise the Creator,” a testament to his spiritual journey and newfound freedom. Lessons Never Losses is another special delivery for G Dep.      G Dep performing music off his album Lessons Never Losses.  ( Photos by @Rawnyc).  

NEMS Levels Up to a Higher Plateau with his album America’s Sweetheart

Posted on by

At first NEMS is challenging to figure out. At one end he is joking on folks on his Instagram posts, and spitting menacing disrespectful bars, as he yells “Fuck Your Life.” But the more you hear his music, you notice there is teddy bear quality to him. As he expresses his vulnerabilities, such as the pain of the death of his father due to AIDS on “Keep on, “on his last album Rise of the Silverback. And the murder of his two cousins on the track “Cousins,” on his 2021 release Congo. You get different layers from him; sensitivity, intelligence, pain, and humor.  His latest album “Americas Sweetheart” which was cleverly marketed and dropped on Valentine’s Day is fitting. As on the album cover, he is smiling but also delivering two middle fingers. The great sarcastic contrast. It is like a Larry David episode, you do not know what he has gotten in store next. Some might confuse Nems as a childish antagonist, but he is difficult not to love. His talent and respect for the craft of hip hop is undeniable. He makes you want to root for him. And root they do on the lead single “Go Fat Boy,” which is an underdog head nodding anthem. The production is solid throughout, serving as a  proper backdrop for his calculated lyrics. Tracks like “CTE, “is bar heavy, and “My Side,” featuring Millyz out of Boston is catchy as the chorus steals the show.  While “Gunther,” is a hilarious toxic exchange with a woman who has gotten to his very last nerve, as he showers her with the opposite of compliments.  And “Coney Island Part 1 or 2,” is dedicated to his neighborhood, which is known for its amusement park, beach, and history of professional basketball players.  “God’s Hands,” has him reflecting on his hurdles and thanking his blessings,  while “Afuera,” is a heat rock with Tony Touch as they exchange urban slang expressions in Spanish and will be a warm weather anthem and played heavy at the New York City Puerto Rican parade. The closing track “Viral,” shows a focused Nems emphasizing his goals, as he avoids any pitfalls or distractions on his way to higher plateaus.   On America’s Sweetheart NEMS continues to level up, as Coney Island’s Mayor is expanding his grasp through America and Beyond. But there is nothing sweet about his barz, Go Fat Boy!

Reunited: Snoop Dogg’s  “Missionary,” Album Review

Posted on by

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre will forever be figuratively attached to the hip. The success of Dre’s epic 1992 LP(Long Play), The Chronic, showcased the then-young Snoop’s distinct and stylish flow, with stand out verses on “Nuthin’ But A “G” Thang,” and “F*ck Wit Dre Day.” The following year, Snoop’s debut Doggystyle helped solidify the West Coast’s emergence on the national hip-hop scene. Over 30 years later, Snoop’s Missionary LP,  is the closest fans will get to Dre’s signature stadium sound on an entire album. While this LP does not have the mystique of the long-anticipated and unreleased Detox, and has its moments of braggadocios commercialism, overall it’s sonically pleasing, and experiments with various genres while keeping Snoop’s signature sound intact. The thumping “Outta Da Blue” highlights Snoop and Dre exchanging bars over invigorating production. On “Hard Knocks,” Snoop describes his penchant for defying the odds and overcoming hurdles to reach the finish line and remain in the winner’s circle. The Tom Petty and Jelly Roll-assisted “Last Dance with Mary Jane,” presents a refreshing merger of country and hip-hop. While this might not be what hip-hop purists expected, it’s a delightful fusion. And “Another Part of Me,” featuring British rock star Sting, is a feel-good track that makes you appreciate the present, especially with Sting’s lyrics, “There’s no better time than today.”   Snoop and Dre together on an album is exactly what fans wanted and what hip-hop needed. It shows that some brotherly bonds are unbreakable, and the people you started your career with will always have an influence on you. If you’re fortunate enough, you can come back years later with a more worldly and mature perspective and do it all over again. The album title is a clever play on words, as Missionary refers to both a sexual position (a nod to Snoop’s Doggystyle) and the idea of a missionary—a charitable hero, whose mission is accomplished. And there you have it—mission accomplished, fellas! In a world of ever-changing sounds, Missionary reminds us that some musical bonds are timeless, and Dre and Snoop are still at the top of their game.   Words By David Lopez

Can Glorilla’s new album; “Glorious” draw Hip Hop Album Of The Year honors in 2025?

Posted on by

#MyCreatives what it dew…. Once again, Hip Hop Music in 2024 has really taken it this far with the jammed packed filled of multi-talented music with a mixture of current, and veteran artists really bringing the pain with quality, and well produced music for listeners. Now, we have one of the more known Hip Hop stars entering the mix with; Glorilla. Already with historical first week sale numbers, and popularity like no other. One or many will start coming to terms that “Glorious” could be stamped for high honors and awards in 2025. Make no mistake about it, Glorilla’s unique style, and tone makes her music not only relatable, but even a non-fan will have no choice to “bop” to her music. Her personality is a compliment to her already talented, as well as determination approach of being one the best in the industry and it shows heavily. Glorilla has some heavy competition in Hip Hop Music for her album to be crowned “Best Female Hip Hop Album Of The Year”. From Rapsody’s “Please Don’t Cry”, Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday 2″, Doechii‘s Alligator Bites Never Heal, Doja Cat‘s Scarlet 2 (Claude), Latto‘s Sugar Honey Iced Tea, Megan Thee Stallion‘s Megan, Sexyy Red‘s In Sexyy We Trust, Tierra Wack; “World Wide Wack”, that come to mind for me when it comes into 2025 possible selections for honors and awards. Now we know, and have come to terms that the Recording Academy sees things differently. For me, as a media figure, contributor, and fan of the culture this year has been one of the most fun-filled, and enjoyable displays of music within the culture. The parity is displayed heavily, as well as the contrast between the current younger generation talent, and the veteran artists is not a large gap by any means. The production quality amongst the albums are highly impressive and notable, as well as going into Grammy & American Music Awards season has never been this intense in a while. Don’t take my word for it, or feel I’m against Glorilla (I have no win in that race, or feel she is not talented). YES, I feel her latest album is a quality, and very diverse album. Definitely amongst the middle of the album where she goes deep with a few tracks, as well as the features with Kirk Franklin, Maverick City Music, Kierra Sheard, Chandler Moore, Muni Long, FRIDAYY, and T-Pain along with getting a Megan Thee Stallion feature shows that she wanted this project to be different than what she has already presented with her music. My Favorite Tracks: Procedure Featuring Latto TGIF Stop Playing Rain Down On Me feat Kirk Franklin, Maverick City Music, Kierra Sheard, and Chandler Moore Glo’s Prayer How I Look Featuring Megan Thee Stallion Let Her Cook (Grew on Me, but is still a “Вор”) I LUV Her Featuring T-Pain (Interesting) Queen Of Memphis Featuring Fridayy (A Solid track to close out) I will say, if she’s able to be victorious with “Glorious” in 2025 and receive multiple honors and awards, then for sure she will be cemented on the path of Greatness, and in a quick succession rate like no other. As per usual, #MyCreatives….. ON TO THE NEXT!!!!!

The Consequences of Meeting Rapper Consequence

Posted on by

Me and Consequence the day we recorded “Hip Hop Unpacked,” podcast. Damien DWI Williams,  Caiden the Crown Holder, and Consequence May, 2023 at listening party for earlier version of Nice Doing Business With You. I attended a listening party in May 2023 for Consequence’s studio album “Nice Doing Business With You,” at Platinum Sound Recording Studios in New York City. It was a fan’s, writer’s, and media coordinator’s delight. Here I was, getting an early listen to the album from one of the premier songwriters of our time — someone who has worked with Kanye West, Beyoncé, and a member of arguably the greatest hip-hop group of all time, A Tribe Called Quest. I took a liking to the album, with heat rocks including the Amerie-assisted “Blood Stain,” and a witty track that spoke to the difficulty of co-parenting with Sheek Louch, “Baby Moms.” He also provided social justice content on tracks like “Who Shot Jamal,” with his son Caiden the Crown Holder, which describes the impact of gun violence in inner-city communities, and a feature from Chuck D on “What Has America Done for Me?” which dives into effects of slavery and the history of racial oppression in the United States. The album felt necessary. It’s hip hop — entertaining, but also filled with commentary that challenges the status quo and moves the conversation toward change. You can imagine the joy I felt on Friday, September 27th, 2024, the day the actual album dropped — a whole year and four months after that listening party in New York City. I was hyped, finally going to listen to the official album from one of NYC’s elite emcees, an artist I had sung along to as a teenager on his epic standout appearance on “Stressed Out” off ATCQ’s “Beats, Rhymes, and Life,” album. This excitement turned into disappointment when several of the songs I heard weren’t on the album. I felt cheated. Hearing the album, which on first listen felt more R&Bish than the version I heard with several singing choruses gave me more New Edition vibes than Hip Hop, and had me confused. I shared this confusion with a well-respected media friend, and he shared that with Consequence. It was relayed to me that the Queens rapper respected my thoughts about the missing songs and that a deluxe version was actually coming out in a few weeks with some of the tracks I heard at listening party. He connected me to the rapper and  Consequence himself wanted to personally show me the video for the track with Chuck D, “What Has America Done for Me,” which will be included in the deluxe version of “Nice Doing Business With You.” And this is how I set up my first podcast interview ever with the illustrious Consequence. I asked my good friend Damien “DWI” Williams, to co-host, he is known as the pioneer of podcast production in hip-hop circles in New York City, and he provided his studio to watch the “What Has America Done for Me” video and interview Consequence. It had been a while since I interviewed anyone in person, and it was my first time having it recorded. I was a little nervous. I’m good at preparing questions and passionate about writing and booking artists for other radio shows, but I was not sure how I’d do on a podcast. I came up with the name of the pod the day before we recorded, “Hip Hop Unpacked,” because I wanted to create a podcast in which I delved deeper into the root and inspiration for creating hip-hop. Consequence showed up to the pod, and we were ready to rock. We spoke briefly, and I asked why the album took so long to be released, considering I had heard a version of the album in May 2023. He explained that he was taking his time to get the right distribution for the album. My follow-up question was, “What happened to all the other songs I heard at that listening party that didn’t make the album?” He said he would be releasing the deluxe album within a few weeks, with songs like “Who Shot Jamal” and “What Has America Done for Me.” Then he showed me the video for that song featuring Chuck D. The video is moving — an exposé of the atrocities and inhumane treatment given by the United States power structure to African Americans. We spoke with Consequence for an about an hour about different topics including the health scare he endured with lupus and diabetes, and how he had to change his diet which altered his outlook on life. He even selected an album cover to show him in a successful, celebratory state in a Maybach, wearing a Rolex, to show him living life fully when just a few years ago he was concerned about surviving. I quickly learned how passionate he is about his art. He recited his lyrics when explaining the meaning of songs like “Overdose.” On the track that features YNW Melly, you can hear the pain he lived through during the 80’s crack era. The album is full of mature content that makes you think about the effects of drug abuse, mass incarceration, and relationship struggles. I’m happy to see Cons get this moment. He has always been hungry and talented, but on this new album, he finally gets to shine as a solo artist as he and his son are the only ones who rap on the entire album. During the podcast interview, we spoke about how much his cousin Q-Tip liked the project, and how he had a full-circle moment — close to 30 years in the music business, and getting praise from his cousin was like Coach K awarding him the championship. After better understanding the challenges he’s overcome, and discussing his growth as an artist and human being, Cons is hard to root against. He’s tackled life, music industry hurdles, and is still competing for his proper place in the hip-hop pantheon. And next up for him is

Ricky Bats: “How Real Is That?!!!!” Music Review

Posted on by

What makes Ricky Bats continue? The Bronx is heavily known within the Hip Hop Culture, and Music for having hard working and impactful figures that captivated many with their skillset, creativity, and energy. Most def’n had the opportunity to chop’it up with one of the best in the independent circuit with Bronx Native; Ricky Bats. He has a new album coming soon, and currently just dropped the single and music video; “How Real Is That?!!!” Ricky Bats, beloved definitely appreciate you giving us your time, off the rip with that funny yet, serious line; “N_____s be Suckin’ their teeth, you got a slow leak, what you got a flat?!!!!…” do you feel Hip Hop Music has lost its way with having “Fun” in the bars, or it’s the sign of the times it’s returning with the way the lyrics have been written by artists as of late? RB: Hip Hop was based off of having fun. Once it started getting into the gangsta style of music, it turned more into the street music, and with the modern day rap music, I hear less witty lines in it. With you directing, and editing your own music video, do you feel artists should go more that route, or is it one of those “If Need be” type decisions? RB: I think as an artist you need to know everything in this music industry in order to understand it better. It’s just more than studio and recording your records. There’s understanding the business. I’m still learning the business aspect to it. I got into directing and shooting my own videos, because I feel like no one could express my vision more than me. And plus my life is so random. That a video guy or director is not gonna be around at all times with me and capture certain moments. So whoever’s with me at the time, I’ll give them the camera and they can record and get thos random moments. How was it working with Hip Hop Legend; Fredro Starr on the track, what was the over/under with the beat selection? RB: It’s always a dope experience working with Dro. Shit he’s a legend! If we’re not recording in the studio together, he will send me a batch of beats, and I go through them. “How Real Is That?!!!!” on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/7pBiUWoLkQQqCs1I7BO05d?si=7M3osTpSTZ6p7NBTr3EMXw For your upcoming album; “100 Bats” what should we expect, and any chance you lets us know of the surprising features? RB: I have no major features on this album. Other than Fredro Starr (Producer), I have two artists that are on this project l’ve worked with, Brigavelli she’s a dope R&B singer. She’s on four records on the album, and I have this young artist i’ve been working with as well, R Hoody. Now being the vet in Hip Hop, as well as a potent figure in the Independent Circuit, what else do you feel is needed for you to still maintain your stance in the culture? RB: Just growing!!! Not staying stagnant at the same level. Take a chance and being creative with music, marketing and promoting. Staying consistent. ‘Cause once you stay consistent, you could notice the difference with everyone else that isn’t consistent. Do you feel streaming numbers can hinder an artist’s talent, and with that could be the one of the factors why some music that’s out today seems “Mediocre”? RB: I don’t think streaming numbers can hinder talent. Talent is talent and numbers’ are numbers…  Again, it comes down to marketing and promoting. Streaming is not paying artist what we they deserve. It’s a different day and age with this music industry. Gotta invest your money into your project to maximize the potential growth. Streaming is one aspect of the industry. Talent is another. What’s your take on the current state of Hip Hop Music vs the Hip Hop Culture? RB: Nowadays, Hip Hop Music is what the radio stations are making it to be, the same style  songs, and not enough talent being pushed to the public. I really don’t like what’s going on now, and it seems to be an agenda pushed behind it. Also, the underground market is “flaming up” on a good note. I like that role for authentic Hip Hop Music to be displayed within the CULTURE. Last, what’s the most impactful thing you want your fans to take away from your music career? RB: Everything is not glitz & glamour. There’s a lot of work and grind that needs to be put in behind the senes. Consistency is the key and you have to put the work in regardless if there’s support or not. Now #MYCreatives, I’ve listen to the track about 4 times, and it’s definitely a #ReemoApproved track, as well as honestly can’t wait to hear his upcoming album; “100 Bats”.

Can “Rated R” be the next Superstars from Jersey?

Posted on by

Rated R is on the scene!!!! #MYCreatives what it dew, I’m back at it again with another #ReemoApproved Artists Spotlight, and of course had to reach out to Jersey’s own rising duo of Kiara and Jade which make; RATED R. Now if you follow “The Social Dw33b of Hip Hop” as of late since 2022 been covering artists from the Garden State, and shockingly been put under the “Burner” after the light was sparked by Fetty Wap, and many legends prior. Can the light and time within the industry shine bright for Rated R to take? I chopped it up with them to see do they have what it takes to make an impact in the culture!!!! Being a woman duo, how can you separate from the possible stigma being placed as a “City Girls” type of group? Rated R: I mean, the only thing they can compare when it comes to the City Girls is kind of the look. Other than that, we both do our own things and don’t step on each other’s toes. I bring the sweet she brings the heat. Right now I can’t think of any successful duos out who do opposite things and mix as well as we do.   Now, New Jersey has a heavy influence of talent involved in the music and entertainment industry. Do you feel the pressure of carrying on the legacy of your state, or its truly focusing on what Rated R has to offer? Rated R: If you want to make a diamond, you can’t do it without pressure. We’ve been saying for the longest that Jersey has a lot to offer. We don’t feel burdened by it we embrace it as we embody Jersey pride. We’re here to show the world what Rated R is all about. We from Big Jersey, The Grind Hard state. Women in the culture are heavily taken over and in a large number, what does that do for the group, as well as what would you want to let future young women coming into the game to understand? Rated R: Our motto is EMPOWERMENT. We want to inspire young women to embrace their authenticity in the way they see it. You just gotta worry about what it looks like to you. You can be who you are and be a fly boss. It’s crucial for the industry to shine a light on women because we have powerful stories to tell. IT’S WOMEN right now leading the conversation from music to presidential seats. We’re rarely in the conversations let’s continue to keep us apart of it.   On your music journey, how important is having a team to support you? Rated R: Having a team on your journey in this music industry can either make you or break you, but having the support of a great team can only make you better. A lot of people be trying to take advantage, and ownership of things that are not theirs. Gratefully our team is genuine and supportive of what we want to do. I think it’s necessary, especially for artist who are serious about the careers.   We’re in the 3rd Quarter of 2024, how will you close out 2024, and what’s in store for us in 2025 from Rated R? Rated R: We will definitely be outside for the rest of 2024, continuing to pop out. In 2025 expect music, exciting events, and plenty of engagement from us! We are excited for what we have planned for 2025.   How important is music production for you when making the music, and how selective are you when choosing the right producer to work with? Rated R: Music production is crucial in creating our music. If the sound and mix aren’t right, it just doesn’t feel right. We can’t move on to visuals or performances without truly feeling the mix. I don’t know how many times we listened to “Bad Guy” just to make sure it was exactly what we wanted to deliver to our fans. It honestly starts when selecting a producer, it’s all about the sound and vibe they bring to the table. Who influenced you the most when starting your music career? Kiara: Ella Mai has been a huge influence for me. I admired how she stayed true to herself throughout her career, focusing on the authenticity of her words and music. That’s the path I aspire to follow. Jada: When I started making my own music, Nicki Minaj was a huge influence. I was a super fan and loved the feminine energy she brought to the industry.   What’s the one thing you want to let your growing fan base know? Kiara: Remember that nothing in life comes easy. If you want something, you have to put in the hard work and hustle for it because no one else will do it for you. Jada: No dream is too big. If you believe it, you can certainly achieve it! All in all, I must say the duo is poise to make sure JERSEY is definitely on the map, as well as the industry will not forget their name….. “RATED R!!!!” On that note #MyCreatives, ON TO THE NEXT!!!!

Lola Brooke feat. Jeremih; “No One Else” Music Review

Posted on by

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, #MYCreatives the HOT STREAK CONTINUES for your Neighborhood #RugerSprayyyyyer and Social Dw33b of Hip Hop!!!! This time, I’m doing the latest review of Lola Brooke and Jeremih’s latest HOT TRACK!!!! Lola Brooke and Jeremih just dropped their new track called; “No One Else” and it’s the smooth blend of street and R&B vibes we didn’t know we needed. Lola, known for her gritty Brooklyn flow, does what she does best here — talk her talk, unapologetically. She’s got that confidence in her verses, spitting something soulful, and her “get the mood” right bars that show she’s not waiting on anyone to make her feel good. It’s all her, all day!!!! Jeremih, on the other hand, slides in with those signature silky vocals that we’ve come to love from him. His hook brings that sexy, late-night vibe, making the track perfect for a mix of chilling and vibing. The contrast between Lola’s hard-hitting, as well as soulful delivery and Jeremih’s smoothness is a win, creating this dope balance that keeps you coming back to the track. I had the opportunity to sit down with the Brooklyn Native, to really find out the scoop on the music video: Overall, “No One Else” is that joint you’ll have on repeat, whether you’re cruising through the city or just kicking back. Lola Brooke’s aggressive energy paired with Jeremih’s laid-back charm? Yeah, that’s a combo that works. Juuuuuuu’alreadyyyyy Know #MyCreatives, ON TO THE NEXT!!!!!

Times Are Changing in Hip Hop Music, and She Real is NEXT!!!!!

Posted on by

She Real: “I Don’t Rap About My Pussy” Album Review     In this Hip Hop Culture, and the Hip Hop Music within it comes a lot of layers that many don’t understand of why an omega talented artist would struggle or rather go through a very not needed difficulty of process to make a successful career. Also, for Female MC’s like our guest and featured artist whom now has a Triple Headed monster to deal with all because “She Don’t Play The Game” or just flat out doesn’t allow her immensely high level talent to be compromised with tomfoolery and fluff just for the sake of appeasement, and down right mediocre effort being rewarded. The L.A. transplant native by way of HARLEM, NYC (Born and Raised majority of her life) was rippin’ the NYC Independent Circuit, and I’ve met her during my early years in Media around 2014. The fact that NYC didn’t push her as much as we should have is blasphemy AF, and just downright awful to make the things difficult for her. Unfortunately, the case for a very talented MC like her to go through a litany of tomfoolery and fukery that would make the average person crash out and just give up on their dreams entirely. She Real took her talents west to L.A. and since that time continues to lace the culture with her presence and overall impactful skillset.  I have a sit down with her about her upcoming project, and 9th Studio Album; “I Don’t Rap About My P_ssy!!!” How do you feel about your brand and music so far in 2024, and how do you want to close the year? SR: My brand voice is both deeply personal and empowering, focusing on resilience, transformation, and using music as a channel to overcome pain. I use musical storytelling to share a narrative of personal struggle and recovery, aiming to inspire others facing similar challenges and connect with them on a personal level. I also strive to reflect contemporary issues and highlight the experiences of Black and Brown communities. Showcasing my natural afro hair is a defining aspect of my visual identity. My clothing style features a blend of Kung fu gees and Hip Hop attire, merging cultural influences with urban aesthetics. I do believe I am Hip Hop’s the last dragon like Bruce Leroy lol. My reputation is built on my dedication to my craft and work ethic. I’m here to uplift my people. My values shine through in my commitment to inspiring others and openly sharing my journey. As I wrap up the year, I plan to uphold and showcase my brand through my relentless hustle and dedication to my music. I aim to demonstrate that women deserve a prominent place in the conversation, showing that we can craft compelling stories and deliver impactful messages with exceptional lyricism and captivating cadences. Not all women need to resort to hyper-sexualization to succeed in music!!! It seems in 2024, the switch that a vast majority within the Hip Hop Culture have been begging for occurs with Lyricists and Conscious MC’s coming out with bangers and high quality albums. What do you feel is the cause of this, and what part do you feel your contributions will take effect in this surge? SR: History often repeats itself, and the music industry has seen a surge in party-themed tracks that glorify the use and selling of drugs, sexual indulgence, and the pursuit of money at all cost. Yet, Hip Hop has always been the voice of the streets, reflecting the minds, hearts, and souls of the community. For the culture to thrive, Conscious Hip Hop must co-exist with more mainstream styles. We cannot rely solely on club anthems for sustenance; if we did, tracks like “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five wouldn’t have had such a profound impact. Recent examples, such as Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” reinforce this truth by demonstrating that culture will always take precedence over corporate interests. Regardless of what trends or commercial pressures emerge, we live and breathe Hip Hop every day. This enduring authenticity is evident in the success of albums like Killer Mike’s “Michael” which won Best Hip Hop Album at the 2024 Grammys, proving that the truth and the culture will always prevail. This is why my album is necessary for black woman in Hip Hop everywhere because we represent more than just our bodies. In “Consequences” what made you made to use so many of today’s modern “Vices” on the track? SR: I reflect my times. I pay attention to my people. I also watch what trends are promoted to us daily. “Consequences” would not be relevant without these “vices”. The entire story revolves around an age-old tale that continuously resurfaces in today’s times. Many men of power take advantage and manipulate women by physically and sexually abusing them. The “vices” assisted in painting the picture of revenge. Shoutout to the producer 1719 for crafting the perfect soundtrack to a story that empowers women everywhere, transforming their voices from those of victims into symbols of strength. One thing I can say about you, that you always have the knack of making your projects like the 90’s & early 2000’s with the skits, and just overall structure of the album. When it comes to the skits it seems that you enjoy playing the multiple roles on the track, did you ever want to act or be in movies prior to rapping? SR: Absolutely!!! I stated to God while creating these skits that I pray they will double as my audition tapes for voice over acting. I have always been greatly influenced by phenomenal women such as Cree Summer, Regina King and Anika Noni Rose that we too can thrive in an animated world. I’m excited to see how it all unfolds. For the record I have always wanted my own show like Moesha as well. Brandy was the first to inspire me to believe that as an
