Beats for the Revolution:
The World Must Hear
the Words of a Sista
We did our thing the other day on All Day Play radio with my show Breakdown FM…There is so much good music out there its unbelievable.. No excuses for those who say its lacking…With all the new technology, good music is there for the embracing..
Hundreds of female emcees are out there.. no excuse to say they are not.. From Dessa Darling to Kellee Maize to Vanessa German to Raw G to Aima the Dreamer to Devynity there’s a lot of sisters catching wreck.. One of the things we in Hip Hop must do is see our music as timeless and without limits..The music industry wants us to retire artists and dope jams from 5 or 10 years ago and act like they never existed.. That’s done so that we can develop the mindset of a consumer vs having the mindset of a cultural preserver..The saying Old is New and New is Old applies here.. As we continue celebrating Women’s History Month, enjoy this mix.. Its a gem among gems and our second offering in a 4 part series..
Special shout out to Aisha the Raptivist who gave me some killer drops in the form of speeches and sayings.. Click the link below to go to ADP and hear the show via our archives or hit the download links
