IT’S LIIIIIIIIIIIVE! Go check out my latest track entitled “AcadeMICS” in iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, everywhere! This song is the first to be released from my “Equations” album. The track features DJ 501 on the cuts. This song was actually made over 3 years ago. It was the first song I made after I completed my Pre-Algebra EP. The title of the track represents the fact that the average hip hop fan has no idea where this music came from and the history and culture behind the music (half of the MC’s out there don’t even understand hip hop’s origins). To truly appreciate what hip hop is, and what is “good” and “real” hip hop, people need to understand how it originated. This song isn’t a history lesson or anything, but it does emphasize the 4 elements of hip hop culture- B-Boying, DJ’ing, MC’ing, and Graffiti art. The best way to improve the state of hip hop music is to gain a better understanding of the art and culture behind it’s origins. If we want to make hip hop worth anything of value, we need to become educated and study hip hop’s history; thus the name, AcadeMICS. The emphasis is on the MICS at the end because what better way is there to learn about hip hop’s history than from the tool that brought hip hop to the masses?
