A song coming from an artiste that has had the “next to death” experience. Artist SlickMick details his journey from being “ok” to lying in a hospital bed not knowing what is really going on whether in his head or anywhere around him. This is basically a testimonial of closing out an experience in Cambodia and heading to Thailand where his world change in the blink of an eye. He could remember stepping from a bus and as he made his way to crossing the street, it all went blank when he was hit by a car and ended up in rehab where his life was now a matter of recovery or out.

This song portrays his bravery and can definitely be a form of peace and motivation for those going through a struggle and trying to keep going. Though it may be a sad experience, his strength over-powers that and makes him a tower of strength for many in the music industry and those listening.

Sean Price is a hip-hop legend and god emcee who happened to live in the same building as Kev. Kev got a chance to rap for him at the park one day and Price liked what he heard, so he took him under his wing.

Kev The Pope is only getting started and "Where Were You" is a testament to his progress, check out the video below and look out for Crazy Weird Cool Love on May 25th. 

JFK - 5150


JFK has a few screws loose on his new single "5150" where he embraces his crazy side and uses it to his advantage by being a polarizing emcee. JFK was born in Brooklyn but his sound isn't traditionally New York, there are many elements of southern hip-hop on "5150" from beat selection, to delivery and cadence. However, there are most definitely elements of his roots in his rhyming ability on this record where he showcases his pen game with polysyllabic rhyme patterns and witty wordplay. JFK clearly has a chip on his shoulder after a long journey of having problems with the law he is triumphantly coming out on the other end. Check out "5150" below and look out for more from JFK coming soon.

Nicole Arbour shows perspective of women on “This Is America” [Childish Gambino Remix]




In this rendition of Childish Gambino’s sensational hit “This Is America”, Nicole Arbour takes the stage to share the perspective of women and the variety of social, economical, and psychological injustices women can experience in their lifetime. She further pushes the boundaries by invoking similar thought-provoking imagery and combines them with several incendiary stereotypes to serve as a general expectation from woman. Coupled with the fact that this type of song brazenly opens the dialogue of oppression shared by another social class falls directly into the heart and soul of hip-hop. A social commentary that exposes not only the weakness we have as a society, but also the weakness we have toward each other. The presentation of this message also underlines the most significant aspect of this song, which is the empowerment of women by being aware of it. For Nicole Arbour, it’s not just a matter of showcasing talent and creating content that resonates with it’s audience, but an instilled lasting impression that allows us to explore this complex theme. It’s the type of performance that can be taken to multiple levels and the raw energy of it is palpable.
