Thoughts on HipHop/"Untitled" Benjamin Starr project update
My thoughts on HipHop right now, isnt as bad as a lot of people would think. I think we're at a musical point of rebirth, as far as the artform goes. Alot of the pockets of the culture are being exposed to the masses, i.e. Club music, intellectual music, hipster movements. We shouldn't shun any of these different styles, but use them to emphasize our own identities and even as a change of pace to the person who wouldn't otherwise consider it at all. So other than utterly belligerent and ignorant forms of Rap (lol), Big Shot Outs to the Gucci Manes, Wales, Lupes, Hovs, Kwelis and Jeezy's of the Hip Hop umbrella...
Anyways, I'm currently in and out of the studio constantly workin on the all original project i'll be droppin in January; as of right now its untitled, but thats bound to change. Anyways in an era where niggaz drop meaningless mixtape after meaningless mixtape, I wanted to switch it up and give the people a musical journey into the mind of an introspective emcee. Stories of Poverty, Artistry, Broken Hearts, and the real life outside of everybody's house, apartment or car window... Props to some of the best Producers in SC and beyond I've worked with so far... Carlos "Gran" Whiteside, Bigg Serg, Rill Williams and Boonie Mayfield of Denver... More updates comin soon...
