Resurface (f. deM atlaS)

"My glory is far from over, life is better when I'm sober..."

For me, being open, even during the darkest times of my life, has always helped me.  These days, I'm taking it one day at a time, and I thank you for all the support on my journey to be a better me.  Here's my latest offering; a self-reflection of MIKE DREAMS right now.  Thank you.

WHEN THE FIRE STARTS

Chicago-based Artist/Producer Neak is back with new self-produced cut cultivated through vintage jazz-soul elements entitled, "B.M.P." -- an acronym standing for "Black Male Plight." With so much racial tension and divisive rhetoric becoming severely relevant in U.S. culture, Neak speaks candidly about the current dysfunctional behavior regarding race relations, his conflicted political views, and where he stands among the drivers of mainstream music culture.

THE PATH

Mass Appeal Premiere: https://massappeal.com/kxng-crooked-the-maga-continues-premiere/

Almost a year ago (11-11-16 to be exact) today, KXNG Crooked released a manifesto in the form of Good Vs Evil.  To rewind, Donald Trump had just been elected the 45th President in one of our most controversial presidential elections, divisiveness infiltrated every aspect of the populous, governmental agencies were willingly pumping poison into its communities, protests were raging in the streets, unprovoked police brutality was rampant (with zero accountability) and the societal divide widened with each passing day. 

With a seemingly basic disregard for human rights, it was understood that we were living in a complicated and dangerous time.  People were in search of answers and a unifying message; Kxng Crooked’s Good Vs Evil could not have appeared at a more needed time as he delivered a project that stared into the face of oppression and struck a nerve.

Though it seems counter-intuitive and unimaginative, the year that has passed in-between has led us even further astray.  The Donald Trump era has borne witness to fake news, championing racism, bigotry, separatism, sexism and a general contempt for rule of law.  Further, he continues his quest to eradicate the health care of millions, advocated a foreign government meddling in an election, diminished our standing in the International community and displayed more concern about the behavior of NFL football players; then he has for the well-being of the citizens he is sworn to uphold.  

Welcome to the new normal!  

Thankfully, KXNG Crooked’s Good Vs Evil 2: The Red Empire picks up right where its predecessor left off. On the surface, Good Vs Evil 2 is the epitome of woke; a politically and socially conscious decree that demands to be heard and processed.  At its core, it’s designed to be the theme music that Colin Kapernick and a generation can proudly knell to.

While Trump is busy adding to his portfolio by peddling pumpkin MAGA (Make America Great Again) hats, Crooked’s “The MAGA Continues” examines the other side of the catchphrase that 45 used as his campaign slogan; one that has further empowered law enforcement that “used to kill us in the dark, now they just do it in the light.”

Just like any good leader, Crooked isn’t afraid to rock the boat if a culture change is in order, especially those who have the platform to affect change, but lack the fortitude to do so; and he is more than willing to sacrifice Jason Whitlock for Gregg Popovich.

 “Donald Trump coined the now famous acronym MAGA.  I personally believe the phrase ‘Make America Great Again’ is a dog whistle for racism and turning the clocks of progression backwards” Crooked commented to Mass Appeal.  “The way the country is currently divided it seems to be working. I’m really just letting off steam on the joint, but some important points are definitely being touched on. One point I covered in the song is being widely overlooked; maybe because it’s a fairly new form of division in Hip Hop. I’ve done many shows with white rappers and seen some of their fans in the crowd wearing confederate flag and swastika symbols on their clothing. Shit blew my mind. Nobody talks about this element in Hip Hop that is growing and will cause division on another level. I chose to speak on it because Hip Hop is a tool for unification and we need to keep it that way. How long will we allow the MAGA to continue?” 

No Justice, No Peace!

Good Vs Evil 2: The Red Empire

KXNG Crooked- 'The MAGA Continues'

Mass Appeal Premiere: https://massappeal.com/kxng-crooked-the-maga-continues-premiere/

Long Beach crew Horseshoe Gang return with their forthcoming new album Dope Lyrics Matter which will be released on 12-8-17---AKA COB Independence Day (coinciding with the release of KXNG Crooked’s Good Vs Evil 2: The Red Empire).

Mentored and encouraged by their elder brother KXNG Crooked, the Horseshoe Gang embody the term “family affair, “as brothers Demetrius, Julius, Kenny and Dice formed as a group before they even reached their teenage years. A vital component in the west coast rap scene for close to a decade now, HSG have earned their stripes the old-fashioned way; by putting out good music that increases their substantial following with each subsequent release. That momentum continues with their forthcoming album Dope Lyrics Matter.  

HSG is not a group that creates music based off of “vibes.”  Rather, these brothers competitively strive to go after each other’s necks; bar for bar with each verse.  That competitive streak was put on full display a few years ago after Funk Volume (Hopsin, Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton) appeared on Sway In The Morning and challenged to face off with any group for 500K.  HSG swiftly accepted the challenge when they visited Sway which resulted in back-to-back-to-back responses from the two respective camps. 

Dope Lyrics Matter represents the group’s psyche, both in title and content.  HSG’s reputation as ruthless lyricists delivering quick-fire rhymes, hooks and vastly superior wordplay is well-established, but Dope Lyrics Matter also displays versatility in themes and concepts; with humor, rage and pathos evident throughout.  

Today, via an exclusive premiere with Mass Appeal, HSG releases the first single, “Shoes Fall Off” from Dope Lyrics Matter.

"Considering the fact that Hip-Hop is now recognized as the most popular genre in music, we feel it's important for dope lyrics to be properly represented” HSG stated to Mass Appeal.  Dope Lyrics Matter is meant to highlight lyricism, so our supporters should expect classic Horseshoe Gang material on this project---bars and more bars!"

Horseshoe Gang’s Dope Lyrics Matter will be released on 12-8-17 via COB/EMPIRE.
