It's 4/20, man. For real . . . Let's hit the blunt like there's a reason Let's hit the blunt like there's a reason, summer is the season Let's hit it harder than Ike hit Tina, and Like we're Tina, let's say 'Ooh La La La' Let's meet up. We're teens, aren't we? You wanna laugh? Look at yourself in the mirror You could be getting so tree levelled, nothing is clearer, You're oblivious to the fact that nothing is sicker Than being lift up. being more out of place than Captain Hooks' wrists are Yo, Maestro You know I loath anything that doesn't have to do with having great fun in the weather So if you wanna stick your face in that computer and do the things you ain't gotta do - ite cool. Whatever Whatever your decision will be You can't overlook the chances of getting trippy with me I'm getting tipsy with ease, nothing you say can deter me If you do find a job though, I beg you, refer me Please, do it in a hurry Cause I know you can talk firmly. Fam . . . I'm fading Dear God, please do it in a hurry I'm scared for his existence Nothing's teaching him lessons and therefore he's persistent His sisters are younger. Matter fact I doubt they know him you said that you're the way the truth the light. Go head and show him Knowing him he's high as I see his nam pop up on my BB screen, watching MOTD on the TV screen Yo Maestro I don't think that you was lying Would your aunt ever go crazy if she sees me lean? What are you on? What's going on? Is there a problem? Cause you know that that's something that I don't wanna hear My boys was behind me feds came and stopped them I started walking faster This is a disaster. They're going pen I saw em getting cuffed like Jessica. They was resistant one fed hit him hard like "Get in the vehicle" I know that you ain't ever seen it all But I'm starting to question why I even started leaning for Even you don't have the answers , do you? I'm tryna quit, it's true But quitting ain't what winners do So as I spark the spliff for you I'ma ask Minnie Riperton 'what them singers do?' Cause I'm fading

SOULCH! [Intro] M to the A to the E to the . . . to the . . . to the S & as of now you'll know me as Maestro Kool Aid Man I ain't fruity tho! But . . . get me? [Verse 1] It might be hot or freezing Temperatures is rising to the ceiling Take the script and rip it to pieces yeah that's just the feeling You might receive from a next person Wanna break their records life Geoff Hurst? Or make em limp? Or be in limp like Fred Durst? I get worse thought when I text first At least I never worry bout falling head first Into a pool of fools with no vision So trippin, take a trip to the fridge Like Dee Rig I gotta get it So I get it. Boy better know that man is reckless My g's got souls. these vultures could never peck em if They were jujuman from Peckham. Or Streatham We need pounds. How's about we stretch em, imagining like Lennon A legend as soon as I come to terms with it All this fire? Nah, I don't really burn with it It burns within when someone says I need grips Like I don't get em enough. So I just go and look for treatment [Pre Chorus] Different flavours that could brighten your mood I say I want it but, I need it too I got a acronym for it The love I don't force It comes naturally . . . (And it goes like) [Hook] Kool Aid treatz everyone right!(x3) So stay cool. Treat yourself! [Verse 2] Relax yourself, girl. Please Settle down midnight's approaching I'm marauding I been poaching. Coaching myself to be good for Coachella Honestly, I should know better There is no better feeling than quenching somebody's thirst but It's different on the other hand. How? Not everyone here'll have the upper hand. How? Not everyone can have a summer. Damn. & That is saddening the fact that certain kids won't see their families. If I could then i would buy a million sachets Just to make sure it's something that they'll be having Though it doesn't compensate for everything they're lacking I pray that they ain't ever caught lacking I'm slacking on my work and it's due soon Grew up too soon, anticipated like new moons Every once in a blue moon I rap about blue juice Won't let me down 'fore everyone else Sure enough to know that I will show everyone wealth Introduce the haters to the new words Somehow , we can cater to this new earth [Pre Chorus] [Hook]x2

Mat£rialz 06:50
It's Yung Maestro baby [Verse 1] Look at me, shameless to death. Not a care in this earth Want it all so much that I don't care if it's worth the trouble going through the stress to find the fund for the purchase Talks from parents, and they say it ain't worth it I don't care. This will make my Insta pop off Though in my subconscious, 50 likes is like a one off Compared to them others I ain't even got nudes yet Money problems running circles round me like a roulette Auntie told me 'save your money, there's some obstacles' I swear I conquered every problem in my optic view? Glad to say I didn't do it alone Why should I buy the world and then lose my soul? That won't happen. I got soul on smash At least I hope. At least I know that I'ma borrow cash because Bangin jobs never worked in my favour Prayers made to the maker, beggin' for more later Amen [Chorus] Why you gotta be so serious? So serious (yeah, yeah) It's hard to tell but I'm really skint. I mean REALLY skint (yeah yeah) It's imperative to be imperial. Imperial (oh oh oh oh) But I'm still trippin on these materialz. Materialz [Verse 2] Topman got prices that could relegate my overdraft Uninsured and I have yet to even own a car Difference between us is: I ain't playin Couldn't top my phone up now it's wifi in the train station 'Paying monthly ain't a option' so my aunt said Impossible, and had it not been for my past tense I wouldn't be struggling this hard Now I'm clowning, bare problems. Why is juggling this hard? God! I know a few who say they save for life I know myself and nah, I ain't alright I act like I got it all. My daydreams save me I pretend I'm in the tropicals but these times is my stomach full? McDonald's woman said the bank declined it She said it loud and there was buff girls behind me They turned to predicaments. Tearing up a little bit Thought uni would save me. I ain't even saved a little bit Fool [Chorus] [Bob Marley interview] I mean, how much is a lot of money to you? That's a good question. Have you made . . . say . . . millions of dollars? Nah Are you a rich man? When you mean rich, what you mean? You have a lot of possessions? A lot of money in the bank? Possessions make you rich? (x2) I don't have that type of richness. My richness is life. Life. My richness is life. Every time the money's there it's gotta go, and My auntie all the time she's tryna know What I bought and why I bought it. Is it just because I saw it? Was it necessary, Henri? You're in debt this young. That's scary Every time I get some cash I feel to spend It's a couple screws that's missing from my head Lord, I work hard on this music Everybody says I'm tight Just remembered I don't even pay my tithes . . . It's cause I really want material things Don't mean nothing if I'm a lyrical king I just really want material things No one's even feeling pity for me It's cause I really want material things Don't mean nothing if I'm a lyrical king I just really want material things Why's no one even feeling pity for me I need some brand new j's I need some Nike hoodies I need some new Levi's, and other pairs of jeans Have you seen that new Macbook? That's looking like a g and When I see them tops I'm just thinking 'jheeze' I need some brand new clothes I need some quarter lengths Ask me why I need it? Cause summer's on the way I'm tryna get these waves. So I need a trim I need to holla Oxford Circus see what it's sayin You been t Adidas? I need some brand new Flux Have you been to Topman? I need some brand new chains Yeah I feel relly crazy. I even sound too crazy I'm trying to impress everybody who claims they hate me I just want material things (x3) Material . . .

Gather round, gather round I got a story to tell Goes a little something like this Keep your ears open A black man came and told me he was travelling We looked alike so I asked him 'yo where you going to?' He said that God's the athlete and I'm the javelin So where he throws me is the first place I'm hoping to land in He said 'you ever heard of paradise?' Standing. He said 'sit down don't be a parasite' I said 'I might just parachute myself away from here' He said 'stop clowning you're about to me a man, aight? You think that all this growing happens overnight, you do. But life's a game of decisions and now you HAVE to choose You hear your family, you're the one they're talking bout You said you would save them but now you feel like walking out? You must love breaking promises You must not want Nathalie to be a happy woman . . .' I snapped at him and said 'you're really raising tension!' Then that's when I realised the black man was my reflection . . . [Chorus] I don't trip. I don't like whenever I'm told to take a hike I don't want to run. I might just go provoke a fight We all think we know what we don't. We try see to far into the future This is a real young man voyage [Verse 2 (Mr Mackie)] [Chorus](x2)

Soul Shinez 03:17
[Verse 1] My heart is in the wrong position and I''m supposed to be in pole position Belittled a center is like my soul's position Down in the dumps, where the sole's positioned Is this what it is? The consequences of dreaming and hoping, wishing I only listen to the voice of the Lord Discontent on many occasions I ain't voicing em all. 'Uh huh' is a positive expression Never mess with negatives but sedatives ensures that I get a bit of that good feel. Music for sweetness and the bitter butter of life is a good meal Or good sub. Yeah I'm sub-par However the weather will change, cause me and my g's got barz Life ain't touching me cause I'm on par No Christmas tree, I'm just that top star This world ain't seen any wonders So I don't trip I'm just preparing to run fast [Chorus] Yeah you and me know how it goes Not surprised. I'll have em sing 'wow' like Kylie Minogue because I know my soul shinez (say it with me now) I know my soul shinez (say it with me yep) Life is too short. I was too sure I'd get evicted. I fond conviction I know my soul shinez (say it to yourself) I know my soul shinez (say it to yourself) [Verse 2] Yeah. That's right my soul's bright Though nothing's all flashy like strobe lights I'm still able to fight my own fights Tell myself hold tight and If a don wan test it's on his own sight. Yeah it's on sight For my mind I say one time, one time Ya boi seems to have hit that wall Nowhere else to go so I'ma just hit that crawl, yeah Back to the 1st square, though it may well be worse there I'm a star. I'm a diamond in the trash can I want my whole city even the whole world to throw my sign in the sky like Batman Soul shinez brighter than any other rap fan How that feel Mr Billionaire a black boy still tryna be a millionaire What goes arund will stay round like a cylinder [Chorus] I am surprised I'm still in this life I could have died like them but it's life I will get back on track and I know Long as my soul will shine I'll be fine (x3) I am surprised I'm still in this life I could have died like them but it's life I will get back on track cause I know Long as my soul will shine I'll be fine Uh huh Jus shine ya llght Prdvgy, jus shine light E Whizz, jus shine ya light My bro Cez! Jus shine ya light Michael Honnah, jus shine ya light Mr Mackie, jus shine ya light DeeRiga! Jus shine ya light Mr Emotionz jus shine ya ight Tyrone Furyous jus shine ya light My northwest g's jus shine ya light Selassie jus shine ya light Yo, everybody else shine ya light

(DeeRiginal) Yo . . . [Verse 1] I lay back, Sunday I should be relaxing but I'm active like tomorrow ain't Monday The hood will never be my friend I promise you the life that I am living will end in the endz . . . Living while I'm dying in a region that lacks reason The real stay the same but we change like seasons No I have no answers. Yes I have the questions Did I mention I question why questions are called questions What goes around comes around. That's karma Dee's defensive, armed with armour I don't get involved in the palava, this is a performing arts student who does not want drama Told you before and I am telling you again A friend of a friend doesn't mean we're friends Many siblings but I live like I'm an only child In other words I been comfy on my ones for a while! [Chorus] Who wants that perfect lifestyle anyway? Anyway. Anyway . . . Till then, a conscious person I remain. I remain, I remain . . . [Verse 2] I wake up dry skinned, should be realising physical copies of music but I'm hyping I'm hoping, along with my click, I be reviving the Hip Hop that magazines ain't writing about Last night, I was out last night I could shout one time, watch the world not try Even lend a ear to me I'm aware cause of my choices my whole family fears for me But I deer - I mean dare to be The lyrical mythical creature in your speakers make your favourite rapper scared of me Music Tech student with technical difficulties Consequence of consciousness is never different for me . . . A pioneer in a higher tier, I cry a tear make it clear I finalise the show like Tamera and Tia. Where do I go from here? Tell the world they should hear us? Drop bombs get treated like Iraq? But it's calm, I mean . . . [Chorus]
7.
[Verse 1] Many things won't ever be forgotten Nothing that I live can be experienced for nothing I been in a rut, I been a place rotting Rotten to the core and everything I do won't stop it . . . Troubled teens living inside a society where We all judge each other but usually by what we wear Music is a blessing but truly seen as a scene where You can compromise and get money that is obscene Yeah the love is required but unrequited Sirens from the silence of leaders. Murderers not indicted Which indicated the seemingly uninvited violence My love for life is vast so nah I won't fight it but I'm not the only one who's tired I know I'm not the only one who's trying to take rap and revive it to the sounds that it used to be Until I do it's on my mind constantly and sleep is of no use to me [Verse 2] My mind is unsettled so please don't judge, if I care enough about you then I won't ever stop. But karma came around again, handcuffs a cold cell I'm pissed off I switch of my hearts will so I can, battle my demons when they're plotting and scheming never fought thoughts but fought force that was appealing, you feel me? I don't get a suggestion, I'm getting the question the answer is there precisely to reckon the message. Stopping, where your heading might just alter your pathway an image of a person is a part they hold dearly. A person is a part of them self I'm part of myself wherever as we're all spirits tryna take a plane. Heading back to the person known as creator that's exactly who I favour, I'm asking favours for later. Saying grace and prayers to praise him and that's a blessing altogether.. "No weapon formed me against can prosper!" I've spoken but hear me there's whole worlds to conquer, Mars, Venus, Neptune, actually when you hear a next tune I wanna hear a round of applause for the momentum that I step through and then fuse. My mind is troubled and I can't sleep, why should I sleep like I've accomplished someone's ambition to become a better person through weeks, days and hours? Your wet daily by hours, I only state facts not the fiction fixed in your mind to make everything less realistic to what I am living. I wanna give a shout-out to Parys though, like pushing me, motivating me, but yeah.. Cause fear is a construct, my emotions full towers, Eiffel Tower pain devours in every sector of my anatomy so I am legend, mind is a weapon, I use my tongue sparingly, tongue twisting my alternatives in ways you can never reckon, you wreckin', you can pull my building down however flowers create perfection. Words are my adjectives and objectives to finish, I start what I finish, that's backwards talk cause I'm alive today and I will never diminish my image. I'm finished! I'm scared I will never be 100% like Lucy, 70% of people don't know me, 30% of people judge me but if only..

artefact A 04:45
Um, I was gonna say 3rd time lucky but My whole family labels me a lucky charm so . . . What more can I say, huh? I can only say this . . . It's suttin with this kinda sound that I'm amazed by I could give you organic boom bap, new skool, spoken word, and neo soul at the same time I been BC like I'm James Fry So you cannot pick the right time to just see me through Cause I ensure my sounds is always Universal like Weezy's crew I'm tryna get this up on TV too but first I gotta Channel all of my anger onto a CD to Ensure the booms back like the boom bap You'll be doomed if you wanna run a few laps I outrap Santa's elves, a machine Never been mechanic, just organic like the Reeves in The Matrix All these numbers are gonna bring me some hatred and All this negativity's energy wasted I'm the sun and the moon like Indesit My bars do act like the ism, so window sit I'm still the sun. Shedding the light I'm 20 ft above your shortcomings like Erica Wright Americans try to holla, they don't know I'm a god and If they did they wouldn't trust a single word of response so I Stay silent let the actions do the miming Adding to my value even if my cash ain't climbing Don't really need to personify myself cause I'm the entity of greatness I'm the bomb that's labelled 'stealth' BLOW Highway to heaven but I stopped by the booth I'm so wise tooth fairies can't come find a tooth That I knock from the mouth of mad velociraptor Peter Parker mixed with scratchers like Dilla, Pete Rock and Preemo I'm the chosen one but you can try and be Mourinho Or keep green blowing like you're a fan of Cee-Lo If this beat needed stitches more it would be Lilo. Believe though, I squeeze like my name's Kiko . . . I dissect your section, let them know that they are less like this is next selection Up in shawty dm's tell her get protection, I strike Then I leave just to attend the next. It's all Pek when get the mic and start attacking it, real rap this is If you ain't up you must have sleep paralysis Peep the maddest things like where I stand and what the balance is Stay straightforward like I'm LVG's analysis I kill you softly, you turn to Al. B. Sure and Even stoners tell you they ain't ever heard this kinda loud befor I'll be landing, on a neo soular world, spared for the studios - call me Barry Lambden Opulent. Coquelin with a shoulder barge, I was born Real They wanna sign the older god, huh? EMI rates fly like Milan's jerseys They think they can sign me They think thy can turf me I burn leaves like Turf Moor, worth more than any record deal that you've ever signed on the third floor Call me a conspiracy theorist If I blow the game would try and get rid of me quickest Lyrically sickest, and In the scheme of all the things that are grande I operate smooth enough to go and woo Sade The art of facts is a artifact that resembles me Had the blues and then I went and bought several jeans But I remained on my jack Jones It's not about material things, ethereal king, the theory of things like this is too high for your blind sight So I just scream one time for your mind's sight I mean mindset. If the moon comes up it won't stop me, it don't matter if I'm set I already said that I'm the sun so the world can't until the second that I'm done

?uestion 03:02
[Verse 1] What is love for you? What does it mean? To sacrifice or harmonise or potentially compomise with and for the one with love for you What does it mean when you know and understand that the one you love is enough for you? I'm just a man but apparently we're all the same Listen to other girls talking about our people The price of sin is costly both genders ignore the blame Therefore I always beg to differ cause we're all equal So when you find your equivalent, who won't give you ambivalent signs or mixed signals like this simple Price plan then I'm sure that you'll be fine man, cause Right now it's like you're paying a fine This is really opinionated opinions ain't in the best of therms with me When we was I had a girl then I had her hurt I add a hertz for every ear that hears Volcanoes in my eyes see the anger is tears, word up [Chorus] There is no right or wrong . . . Only a question Don't know if I'll be loved, or be remembered Won't die before my turn, nothing will stop me But if I crash and burn, will you still love me? [Verse 2] Being patient ain't easy, I'm really greedy For 3 weeks I seen my life getting sleepy like I feel alone when I'm supposed to feel alive Should I live on my knees or die on my feet as I read between the lines? But Even that isn't gon cure my legal blindness I Stevie Wonder bout this love life ting It doesn't work for a troubled mind guy with half a heart. Surpassed my mark I lost a lot and know me and myself is all I got I got my boy on the left and the right But I'm left in the night tryna see if I'm right Making these decisions but I'm young and so I'm mindless Protect me from your harness is what I say to your highness Don't wanna fall I dunno if I feel I just wanna ball I dunno if that's real My vision is frizzy I dunno if I'm still in the last place I guess I'm gonna learn the hard way [Chorus]
11.
[Verse 1] This is Hip Hop fellowship Trends? Never fellowing I mean, I don't follow man Clean choice deep voice, spare no boys games or toys, you can call me Hollowman Usually everyone listens. Supposed to be as known to thee as Bono's band Northwest, South, East and the Central Words fit perfect on this hurtful instrumental Why do I even trip for It's clear boy, it's a puzzle. I be that missing jigsaw. The final piece Pushing this culture may be just as hard as it is to find some piece But I'm a pioneer. So finders keepers, losers weepers. Imagination moving stupid speaker-knocking messages on beats with rhymes, flows and a deeper conscience. Better than what your favourite rapper would call 'the best' and Usually, I'd be talking less. If there was more like me then you'd be more impressed, the rap game would be more intense So what we gonna do about this my g's (If there was more like me then you'd be more impressed, the rap game would be more intense) Hip Hop's in a puzzled state right now Tellem what's good . . . [Verse 2] Katniss and Peter Mellark loyalty; the royalties towards the new endeavour Fruits of my labour me and my neighbour at it together I walk past The Lion, no temptation is in me I've never been into Stella but here comes the contradiction: I'm out of this world, out of this realm, up in your girl Call that non fiction. The propeller on a helicopter is the duplicate of how my records need to be spinning Same velocity same property down to the killer hurt of my diction dictionary the prescription Hurry up and tidy my bedroom look at the state that the hip hop game still sits in I'm in need of the restroom Check the analogy. Number 1 if you didn't catch it That's majority due to the fact I didn't 'bang bang' it with adlibs Your ignorant delusional views are not panoramic Take a clear insight inside the art. See realism and don't be manipulated by charts, I'm ill See realism and don't be manipulated by charts . . . (x2)

Blk 04:47
[Verse 1] Black skinhead with the curls and a skin fade Why do they run the world if we win fades Maybe cause since we sold ourselves out we knew that we had been snaked To be fair I think it's fair some are gobsmacked Some just wanna abuse the power that God has Others wanna take advantage of their weaknesses I seen the biggest men fall so it's not that Corruption everywhere it's not raps fault Tryna be strong as back 4 but I find myself falling through trap doors And every door in the trap house is just a way to some change But the door in a black house may be the way to a change base Keep on my faith don't stay the same stay awake How can you be successful if you eat sleep and complain I get complaints about my character But they don't know I'm shining like the 48 carats are No blues like avatars Straight black black is beautiful Tunes are pharmaceutical If you ain't musical you're the cubicle Can't solve the coloured like a rubix cube Soon as you realise who su wu really is then you're a stupid fool Keep it truly true my homeland in my heart Matter of time before we all hold hands with a star Matter time before the star we all love will explode Until then we have some regulations we should impose Been dying every day cause all my bothers doing the same thing But I'm refraining From grabbing a gat and cocking it back and get aiming No links with satan Don't send shots boy I only send prayers And they go to trayvon mike brown and mark Duggan Rodney king Eric garner and wendell Allen And ramali graham this is all that I'm saying Black power all day I mean day out and day in [Chorus] Dreaming like Martin Luther Relaxing bumping Luther To dream of dreams is never too much and it's always super Live long hip hop you shall never crack Three k's ain't nothing I'm forever black (BLK! BLK Hey!) 3 K's ain't nothing I'm forever black! x2 [Verse 2] The soul is often something you forget about My flow is something hard to get your head around Don't be big headed when you listen stay grounded Like a young child a long while ago I made sounds in A poor setup cheap speakers and a slow machine I ain't a striker but I tell you I'm a goal machine So even if the government is tryna scare us With the crisis epidemics all we're gonna say is no siree We don't need your help we're stronger when we recognise The best of lies came from your mouths and on your hands is blood cells Tryna kill us this the second time the restless eyes of Mother Earth is on a search for whosoever runs well With struggle who's living without success I can say it's only you since we're living with all your stress You can cheat and you can win but in the long term you'll be thinking Why did I decide to do it look at them now they're all winning Victory is coming freedom is coming tomorrow I'm actually a young god I'm a darkskin Apollo Uh oh. Shifting cultures ain't too good for mainstream Feels good getting closer to living your daydreams Adam Levine said nothing's ever promised Like my twin Meek I'm just being honest Lord rebuke the police. Babylon can't harm us We got the almighty Babylon got karma Karma. All they got is karma Now is soon enough and I already got my charm on On the same page as the fee be Worth more than diamonds and it's easy To say you wanna piper but yo really Can you be there to compensate and do your duties Prudence is needed. Want the cash but do you need it And to God be the glory On behalf of black I quote it's some bright days before me [Chorus]

Alliswell 05:24
[Verse 1] Couldn't really tell you how I'm still here Even when I lose I probly still cheer I might never make it yeah I still fear But I work and fear later ain't to time for that Got that work in my drive Email sounding like albums Tryna get a break from my drive Ugly duckling turning to falcon I'm a Phoenix fiending for afeeni strength If you ain't tryna get cake and plan on goin back to feeding the needy then You're equivalent to bare greedy men I see these desperate youngins selling more than CDs And I be out of this galaxy if ET sees me He would say I'm not from round here Life ain't sound around here Play with drugs or you play the law it's the truth I hope it sounds clear Versatile music. This right here is vivacious You wanna be broke with family or making cash with your haters It's just a question I'm asking cause right now I am clueless But I dash to answers incredibly and in time I'll be ruler Don't care bout drugs and I don't care bout fashion Lights and the cameras always means action Doing this cause it's my passion like Christ I say all is well cause it will be alright [Chorus] I am such a soldier Represent the culture Music is my perfume. But hip hop is my odour I am my own older. I am my own younger Tho I'm no longer a baby, still Learn from myself daily. [Hook] And all is well. All is well. Live this life and try story tell. Story tell. When I grow older I hope all is well. All is well. Ask me wah gwarn say all is well. All is well [Verse 2] No weapons drawn but I tell you I'm a killer Not just rap I'm tryna own a watch like stiller Faith is sky high yeah I know gods in a Position where he's gonna turn me to Godzilla It's a thrill to think of mills but all these thoughts won't do much I just wanna be problem less even that is too much I just focus on the feel I don't need to get a deal I know my music will sell there ain't nothing more real I got free will and talent In my hands is the planet Yes I am a god the mic is my bro like Janet I don't want no mediocre so I gotta make a difference Feedback matters like a mother should I try and change opinions It's a question like I said I don't have answers to them all In this game called music we will play until we ball How can I lose when I came here with nothing Right at the end I hope you leave with suttin Back in the day I thought that I was stunting But I flip these beats and results are just stunning [Chorus]

about

Soulture

Soul Culture or the culture of soulfulness – for me - is to put your all in the work you are producing. Putting

your soul into it and effectively allowing your work to breathe; grow legs and walk or even run

wherever it can go. In the same way that God breathed life into us, his product, and allowed to go

wherever we can.

I think that Hip-Hop is a lifestyle that requires the culture and behaviour of soul. This can be

simplified as being soulful. I haven’t really needed to study nor do deep research to know this

because I've lived it and experienced it in many ways. I've seen it happen where someone made

something off the chain but was neglecting his own product and consequently it didn't go far,

whereas more or less the whole music industry is full of rappers who are passionate about their

work. Not to be for the people but to gain material wealth and power, and though that may not be

morally correct, its proof that the reward for passion and being soulful is success in one way or

another.

One of the reasons Hip-Hop and Rap isn't as deep as it was back in the days is because

1- Artists are doing the right things the wrong way, or the wrong things the right way

2- The consumer has been brainwashed into liking music that they can go to the club with and

turn up to rather than music that they’d have to sit down and listen to

I'm not against that at all but it’s now come to a point where that’s the music that’s dominating the

charts as opposed to greats like Kurupt who can barely get a single up there.

It can all change. If we as the next generation of Hip-Hop can push that culture out into the streets,

from the streets to the radios, from the radios to the labels, from the labels to the charts. It’s that

simple.

Effectively, that is the aim of Soulture. To introduce myself, my aim, and this culture that has been

undermined in this country so much that Slick Rick and Monie Love couldn't come back and push the
