Read more“I drew inspiration from a protest chant I learned at a Black Youth Project 100 meeting in Chicago. I love how music and chants were used in the Civil Rights movement to help people keep marching. How songs were both a balm and a call to action. I’m interested in figuring out what freedom songs would sound like in 2016. My hope is that ‘blk girl soldier’ is a freedom song for black women today who are fighting the macro and microagressions of daily life in our city/country/world.” – Jamila Woods
Read more“I went to my first strip club in Atlanta couple months ago. It’s my honest interpretation of what that experience was like. I could never make a song about strippers before because I never went to a strip club, so it felt like I could just be more honest and forthright about what happened and my response. I was also able to hook up with some great producers and really express myself and tell that experience while I was in Atlanta — it was perfect timing.” – Y.E. Ali

Read moreJoey Fatts recently performed at Yams Day in New York, but before that he came through the HotNewHipHop studios and recorded this dope track. Fatts raps over a beat by Cash Fargo that is equal parts southern trappin’ and laid back California cruising, spitting straight bars without a chorus. He specifically calls out people who think he hasn’t been grinding since he released his last mixtape. The west coast rapper has making moves for a while now. He released the very dope Ill Street Blues at the beginning of 2015 and jumped on the star-studded cut “Room Full of G’s” in the summer of the same year. Joey Fatts – Too Much Money
