ILL POETIC

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............
