When I first heard this song without seeing the music video it was super dystopian. This song was a clear message sent about Kanye’s interpretation of the times that we are in. The song talks about the importance of focusing on the fact that Black People are currently in need of a savior. Black people have been slaves. Black people have been washed in the blood of senseless killings and targeted genocide. I think the song has some interesting points for sure. I think that Travis Scott being put on this song as a feature adds to the chaotic sound of the song itself.
When I first heard the beat for this song, I thought about an old video game theme song. Then when you hear the flow on this song, it has a fun choppy and unhinged flow from both LD and S Loud respectively.
I have listened to the whole Pop Smoke album Shoot for the Stars aim for the Moon. The overall vibe of it shows off his hard side and his softer side. These are my favorite songs on there.
Since quarantine struck, we’ve had the pleasure of speaking with and hosting several great talents. We wanted to take the time to honor them today, so we’ve created a playlist!
Prior to Kid’s See Ghosts, Kanye and Kid Cudi made a variety of collaborations together over many years. Tracks such as: Father Stretch My Hands P1, Georgeous and Welcome To Heartbreak showcased there elite chemistry, leaving fans hopeful for a full collaborative album.
Over the past few years, Chicago-based producer and multi-instrumentalistBrad Kemp has built strong relationships with an eclectic and diverse group of musicians. Having produced for artists such as Vagabond Maurice, Glitter Moneyyy, and Chore Boy, he’s been sort of a musical chameleon, switching up his sound to match the vibes of his collaborators. But with his forthcoming LP, Letters, he is ready to showcase his talents front-and-center.
I had never heard of Bootychaaain or Sickboyrari before listening to their collaborative project, Bright, which was released last month. The two artists have had relatively lowkey careers. If you type in either of their names into Google, you won’t find much blog coverage, you won’t see their names headlining big festivals, just links to their various social media. They’re mysterious.
Smino’s latest mixtape She Already Decided, released 4.20.20, is one of the first projects to be released during the COVID era, and, as explained by Smino on his host website smitransfer.com, was made during the quarantine. “I made dis shit at the krib fr tryna stay sane and inspired as much as I can mane…”
Chicago’s Jovan Landry has long referred to herself as the “One-Third Emcee,” as in she’s one-third rapper, one-third filmmaker, and one-third photographer. Though recently, she’s added a fourth discipline – producing. Jovan chopped it up with us to explain her growing interests as a producer and her plans for 2020.

If you are a friend of someone who struggles with their mental health, the best thing you can do is be there to talk and listen. It helps to feel included and acknowledged. Trust me, those two things go a long way.
