How does Hip Hop only exist in the club?
How do rappers only talk about the 'trap'?
When does Hip Hop become relavent to people who live regular lives?
Working a 9-5 job, enjoying books/art/poetry and living a life that isn't parallel to a movie aren't common images of Hip Hop artists on the popular stage. But if you seek you can find an artist making music that stimulates emotions that provides a backdrop for common urban folks. While we know that classic artists like Nas rap about living a life beyond being a gangsta, or Jay Z dips into songs that bring a humanistic view of the former street life; and fighting artists like Talib Kweli and The Roots struggle to keep a real life edge on the Hip Hop game it's always good to run into an artist that gives you a new name to mention. ILL POETIC music you can move to, relax to and reminice on...... I ran into his music searching youtube and found a treasure trove of songs, as a person that likes Jazz and good mood music, Ill Poetic hit me as a nice mixture of a lot of rap elements that make me want to intrduce the world to his work, check out his music, I hear slick word play, great content and a flow that I can appreciate............
