Break The Chain
Since I’ve been rapping I’ve always felt like if I’m given the opportunity to speak to the masses then I won’t waste it with empty “glossy” rhetoric that is commonplace in rap music. One of my best friends from college, Terrence Baugh aka DJ Billy Biscuits sent me this sample and the vocals were so inspiring. It made me think—“would our ancestors be proud of us? Would they see progress in our people since they went through slavery?” The hook really speaks to this notion of ‘breaking the chain’, it’s sort of hopeless but in our defiance and strong will we can definitely break the chain. When I look at the African-American’s progress in this country, I’m proud but definitely feel we still have a long way to go. I’m not satisfied. As for the most obvious elephant in the room: the guest feature…Guilty Simpson is one my favorite MC’s in the game—we traded e-mails and I was humbled to know that he really liked the record and respected the fact that it was “about something”. I respect artists like Scarface, Guilty Simpson, Killer Mike, Saigon, Ice Cube (back in the day) they all speak on social topics that are important to the people. Rap needs more truth tellers.
