STATE OF MUSIC ADDRESS

Music, fuel for the soul, an escape from reality and a safe haven where one can be vulnerable with their emotions. No matter the mood you’re in, there’s music to soothe you and guide you back to normalcy.

But what has music come to now? Years ago, content of music was as important as the heart in a human body cos like we cannot function or even be alive without it. Nowadays music is more about the vibes it creates while you’re listening to it and beats that get your head bopping.

Gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang, is one example of these songs that lack absolutely everything but vibes and beat. And I’m sure Tupac and Biggie are cringing in their grave right now.

Mumble rap is the new wave , said Joey B in his Darryl Ep and he isn’t lying. Nowadays artists like Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, Lil Yachty, Kodak Black and a long list of youngins are able to go head on with conscious rappers like Kendrick Lamar, J Cole and big dogs like Hov and Ye in album sales and streams.

I’m not saying these types of music are wack, hell I be bopping to Migos like my life depended on it. I’m just saying I miss the days when you’d listen to a hip hop song and you’d get something meaningful out of the lyrics, you get me?

Long as, Ye finna release an album this year and executive producing Pusha T’s new joint I think music is about to be saved. I’d better get my speaker fixed and ready to hear greatness.
