Nicolay and Kay - The Gunshot ft. Chip Yu

By -
On February 26th 2012 Trayvon Martin was gunned down by an over zealous neighborhood watch named Andrew Zimmerman. For nearly two months Zimmerman, hidden in secret, evaded any sort of retribution for his actions. Finally on April 11th 2012 Zimmerman was arrested and charged with second degree murder. Many questions swirl my head with regards to this case, but the overwhelming one is that we are far from social equality. If I had been the 17 year old boy shot down I assure you Zimmerman would be arrested the moment police arrived on scene. He would be stuck in jail with little to no chance of bail and only have one avenue to freedom; a not guilty verdict. So I ask, would any of this come to light if the media didn't cover the story so ferociously?



Lyrics: Nicolay & Kay - The Gunshot ft. Chip Yu

They can't contribute and they loaded
Pull the trigger gun exploded as the mamma noticed
Mamma stood still mamma frozen
She hoping the gunshot she see

Crying for the gunshot woah
Anybody feel your son drop
Crying for the gunshot woah
Anybody feel your son drop
Crying for the gunshot woah
Anybody feel your son drop


On this corner he dropped
The blood flowing is hot
The kids ran through the streets
The shots handed Malik
The mother saw him and screeched
Brother ran for the piece
He got away heard the screech
Of the tire at least he caught the license
First born he dying
Sitting wishing for sirens
And wishing he was inside of her
This boy's apart of her
Seems he was a martyr like
Corn Bread and Earl
This world is heartless
Smart kid but the bullet was the sharpest
All around his capillaries he cried for the son of
Miss Mary Magdalene a tragic scene
His path of life it ceased to be
She cried


Crying for the gunshot woah
Anybody feel your son drop
Crying for the gunshot woah
Anybody feel your son drop
Crying for the gunshot woah
Anybody feel your son drop


I heard the mother cry
I saw the sister running
His niggas up in the street
I heard them plotting something
The neighbor got the license
They bout to start a riot
Like when they choke
Radio ride and burn it down
Who want to light the fire
Who want to start the flame
Who want to grab a stick
Whoop some ass and take some names
It's in the anger
See its all about the need for change
Believing things is lost will never lead to making gains
In our community it's funny how the unity
Seems to fall for tragedy instead of loving you and me
As we move from war to peace
And back again while mother all cry in the streets


Crying for the gunshot woah
Anybody feel your son drop
Crying for the gunshot woah
Anybody feel your son drop
Crying for the gunshot woah
Anybody feel your son drop


For revolution
Stop the shooting
Raise the peace sign
Hold the seas down
We always talking about it
I'mma be bout to be about
I'm like a mile ride
Can't see around it
I'm from the foundation
From the H town
We be the fush nigga
From the east ground
So put the mack down
And put the glock down
Tuck your ruben nigga
And make it stop now


Crying for the gunshot woah
Anybody feel your son drop
Crying for the gunshot woah
Anybody feel your son drop
Crying for the gunshot woah
Anybody feel your son drop

Woke Up Making Money - SoulChef ft Declaime

By -

Built like Budda and Bob Marley on a Harley  So much flavor on this track it was clearly concocted by SoulChef. The title of this track is just outright deceitful; the art of making money has been bastardized and turned into an act of craving cash rather then flourishing ones talent. That's exactly why the crispy cadence of Declaime reclaims what is it to be truthful to oneself. I lack the words to accurately describe how poignantly powerful this gem is. SoulChef is one of the greatest producers and an ode to a time that is quasi lost. When coupled with a lyricist who can consciously construct a clear message it's apparent that the power of hip-hop is still exceptionally strong. I love it from top to bottom. It radiates and embodies what I want to be as person. Thank you kindly for blessing me with a banger worthy of making money to.  Lyrics: Declaime  Haha this is what it is  And you what it ain't  Going hard in the paint  Going places where most can't Not a saint, def

Hilltop Hoods - I love it ft. Sia

Yet another great song by the Hilltop Hoods of Australia. These guys demonstrate the art of hard work and sacrifice in order to achieve their goals. This is a tribute to their passion and undying love to the culture of hip-hop. If you're like me, a hip-hop junkie, and you haven't gotten on board with the scene down under you're seriously putting a dent in your rotation list. Listen to this track because "I love it!" Lyrics: Hilltop Hoods - I love it ft. Sia Verse 1: SUFFA I’m wondering where the day went, The clouds have me shrouded in grey but, I’m still out pounding the pavement, word, Drowning the hurt by pounding rounds in brown paper, Founded a label now I’m drowning paperwork, But now the crew I’m down with found an escape from work, And I love it ‘cause that what your hard work gets you, My heart bursts through my chest I’m rescued, So forget what the rest do, I’m blessed to do it with two of who are the best to do it, Do I love it? PRESSURE Look at our goa

Kendrick Lamar - Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst

Mighty Mos Def said it best, "Why does one straw break the camels back? Here's the secret, the million other straws underneath it." In the culture of Hip-Hop there is a paradigm shift going down. While Lil Wayne experiences seizures (probably from excessive codeine usage) and Nicky Minaj trots around like a trollop not fit for the slums of Kandahar, legitimate artists are emerging. They're shining lights on the fact that excessive materialism, drug use, violence, persecution, and sexism are not productive parts of society. Emcees are getting features on their albums from influential people like Dr. Cornell West (Brother Ali) and Maya Angelou (Kendrick Lamar). They're are openly rapping about the disgusting hate towards homosexuality (Murs & Macklemore). Even the catholic church and their rampant cover up of pedophilia isn't safe (Lupe Fiasco). The cherry on this sundae is the fact that all these artists have recently topped the charts on iTunes.
