Ryshon Jones feat. CIDNINJA – Her Remedy [Audio]

This song was inspired by a old relationship, and as artist we use music as a platform to express things we experience. The song is about a female suffering from a bipolar disorder and going through many things in life and through it all she uses sex as a remedy to cover up what she’s scared to reveal. I wanted to release this as a “single,” so to say in light of the video I have coming very soon for this song. – Ryshon Jones

AWKWORD – Throw Away The Key [Video]

“Quality music that deserves to be heard” — Chuck D (of Public Enemy) “Throw Away The Key”, produced by L.Ment of Canada, is more than just a cry for prison reform — it is an attack on the entire system of inequality and injustice that is merely exemplified by the racist, classist inequalities in policing and sentencing. Mass Incarceration, Recidivism, Profiling, Stop And Frisk, Police Brutality (e.g., Tremaine McMillian) and Fatality (e.g., Oscar Grant), Political Prisoners. These are symptoms of a greater societal problem. Add income to the equation, via for-profit prisons, and you have modern day slavery. THIS MUST END. “Throw Away The Key” appears on AWKWORD’s ‘World View’, the first-ever 100% For-Charity Global Hip Hop project, sponsored by DJBooth and The Morgan Stanley Foundation.
