After 10 plus years and 9 albums into the game, you constantly look for motivation to continue creating art at a high level as an MC. With my focus now on community and youth development through my nonprofit, I only creative music when I feel extremely inspired. Over the last year or so I saw a decrease, locally and nationally, on positive content and lyrical dexterity from hip hop artists. I work with youth for a living and most of them are completely engulfed in hip hop culture. It scares me to see a generation of young people who think simplistic rhymes, drug use and disrespecting women is all hip hop is about. My mother always told me to be the change I want to see. So with my voice as loud as ever with a lot of the community work I’ve been blessed to do, I’ve decided to use my platform to creative the more positive and lyrical elements of hip hop that I feel is missing from the game.
