OSHUN - "Blessings On Blessings" - {Official Video}

It's an a true abomination that female rappers are narrowed down to one individual representing the culture.  There is a reason they don't shine the light on Emcees with a conscious, they can't control them.  Because dumb music don't insight riots or any form of justice, they just sell records.  Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying music with out a conscious merit is totally all bad.  But there needs to be more of a balance in the music industry,  I'm just here to make sure REal lyricist like OSHUN get the same recognition and credit those other mainstream clowns get.  

Ari Lennox/J. Cole - "Shea Butter Baby" - {Official Music Video}

The marriage between HipHop and Soul music when done correctly has always been a staple in the urban community.  Before mainstream we had Jazz which sometimes included a singer and what was call "scatting" artist which was a early form of rap.  

J. Cole and Ari Lennox does an excellent job at keeping this tradition alive.  I haven't heard something this dope since Method Man and Mary J Blige which is a certified classic.  Let us know who are your favorite HipHop & Soul collaboration.  Peace for now ...

Flying Lotus - "More" (Ft. Anderson .Paak) - {Official Video}

This week we are featuring one the dopest underground artist since Andre 3000, Flying Lotus.  What I like about Flying Lotus is that he's not afraid to push the envelope taking the culture to another level while staying true to its roots.  I sense a day we will be back in a new Golden Age of HipHop in the next 5 years.  We all know that REal art doesn't die it comes back around full circle.

Hopsin - "Picasso" - {Official Video}

Hopsin is one of those highly skilled underground lyricists who is highly misunderstood.  Being one of the smartest rappers in the game doesn't come with a whole lot of fan appreciation.  But they do last the test of time, Hopsin has proven himself time and time again.  

Yet in my opinion, he has failed to capture the mainstream audience.  Don't get me wrong despite not being signed to a major label he has become a successful millionaire and probably has more money than your favorite rapper.  But if rappers were paid on lyrical content and complex bars he would be a billionaire. I've been a fan since the beginning when he sounded like the "Black Eminem ". I mean he did admit it was Em that inspired him to rap so yeah I can see why.  Just imagine a Hopsin and Eminem collaboration, now that would be epic.

BIG K.R.I.T. - “Energy” - {Official Video}

BIG K.R.I.T., another one of HipHop's most underrated artist in the game.  Even though he has had some commercial success to me it's not enough.  An Emcee of his caliber needs to be larger than life and as wealthy as King James (Lebron).  

We need to support our conscious artist so they can create more content and not be tempted by the dark side of HipHip.  It took Jay-Z over twenty years and almost losing his wife and kids for him to make a fully conscious album.  He already admitted he would have been released a more "Woke" LP if he thought it would make him rich.
