Born out of necessity; born out of the need to be heard; to create and foster a community of conscious individuals; to process and transcend injustices. Hip-Hop is an homage to all that it has come from, but also, a cultural form of expression completely unique to itself.
I remember hearing Hip-Hop for the first time as a young man. It was a game changer. The power, the honesty, the passion, the pain, the beat, the MC, the full package...
I don’t need to tell you that Hip-Hop is still as relevant as ever, a living breathing art form that serves as a wake up call and a reminder. I don’t need to tell you that shit is fucked up.
Keep your chin up and your eyes open. Walk with confidence. Speak loudly. Be kind whenever possible. Don’t let anybody knock you off your block.
