BigMay202 - "Trenches" ft. Prod Takezo, Neeko, Willno | @RachelMAMBA

BigMay202 Reflects on His Struggles in the Visual for His Single "Trenches"

BigMay202’s powerful and introspective track titled "Trenches" provides a raw and authentic glimpse into the artist's personal journey of growing up in the challenging environment of Englewood, Chicago. Situated at 6551 S Green Street, Englewood is known for its rough neighborhoods and is home to a vibrant yet often difficult community where individuals face a myriad of social and economic hardships. Through his music, BigMay202 shares his experiences of navigating these tough surroundings and the impact they have had on his life.

The lyrics of "Trenches" delve into BigMay202's struggles encountered while coming of age in Englewood. The artist paints a vivid picture of the realities of living in a neighborhood where opportunities are limited, and dangers are prevalent. He poignantly describes the challenges he faced in school, characterized by repeated suspensions that threatened to derail his education and future prospects. Each suspension served as a stark reminder of the uphill battle he was fighting to break free from the cycle of adversity that surrounded him.

Moreover, "Trenches" captures BigMay202's poignant reflections on racism and its insidious presence in his life, particularly following a move to the South. As he grapples with the stark realization that his skin color sets him apart and subjects him to unequal treatment, the song delves into the artist's feelings of alienation and injustice. Through his lyrics, BigMay202 sheds light on the pain and frustration of being judged and marginalized based on systemic prejudices that persist in society.

The track resonates with listeners as BigMay202 delivers his verses with emotion and authenticity, drawing from his experiences to convey a powerful message of resilience and perseverance. "Trenches" serves as a tribute to the strength and determination required to overcome adversity and strive for a better future, even in the face of formidable odds.

In essence, "Trenches" is more than just a song; it is a poignant narrative that sheds light on the harsh realities of growing up in challenging environments like Englewood, while also addressing broader issues of racism and inequality. BigMay202's heartfelt lyrics and candid storytelling invite listeners to reflect on their own perceptions and biases, urging them to empathize with those who have endured similar struggles. Through his music, BigMay202 emerges as a voice for change and empowerment, inspiring others to confront societal injustices and strive for a more equitable world.

As the haunting melodies of "Trenches" fade, the listener is left with a sense of both heartache and hope, as BigMay202's powerful storytelling lingers in the mind, urging us all to consider the transformative power of resilience, empathy, and understanding in the face of adversity.

JimEMacLive (@JIMEMAC03) F/ Ralo the Pimp - "Choose ℗"

JimEMacLive links up with Ralo tha Pimp to release the smash single "Choose ℗"

In the realm of Hip Hop music emerging stars, we have JimEMacLive and Ralo tha Pimp. Hip-hop has long been rooted in authenticity, and it's hard to find someone who puts his sweat & tears into the genre like JimEMacLIVE. Growing up on the streets of Indianapolis, crime & violence were prevalent right outside his door, however, a younger version of himself found solace inside with his mother. 

"This is my therapy. Love, gratitude, determination; you can overcome any & all obstacles that come before you as long as you believe."

Helping her clean the house to the sounds of Al Hudson, and discovering music from the likes of E40 & 2 Pac helped shape his musical taste from an early age. When he decided to start crafting his own sound during his teenage years, while the skillset was unpolished, his unwavering determination & versatility were as present as ever. When darkness surrounds his city, JimEMacLIVE wants to be that ray of light piercing through the veil.  

Make sure you listen to JimEMacLive feat. Ralo tha Pimp "Choose" ℗ on all digital platforms.

Banknote Mitch and M.A.C. K.i.l.l.a. -  "Fresh" Ft. Snoop Dogg | @49thLaw__

M.A.C. K.i.l.l.a. and Banknote Mitch team up with Snoop Dogg on their new single, “Fresh” 

M.a.c K.i.l.l.a. and Banknote Mitch,  North Carolina recording artists stream the surprise release “Fresh” featuring the original gangster himself, Snoop Dogg. This standout collaboration is a melodic, rap-based journey from North Carolina to California. Their verses are woven into a tapestry of West Coast homage and down south tribute. Their styles are unmatched as they lyrically represent their respective places on the map without missing a beat. This single screams "fresh" in more ways than one and while often imitated, can never be duplicated. 

Mitchell "Banknote Mitch" Similton and George "M.a.c. K.i.l.l.a." Hester are Carolina natives and veteran emcees. Mitchell "Banknote Mitch" Similton’s independent record label, Black Array Entertainment; has aligned with industry giants such as G-Unit, Roc Nation, and Shady Records. Mitchell's "Accession To The Throne" album is globally recognized as one of hip-hop's most pivotal projects. It garnered viral notoriety within hours of its release and continues to become more classic as time goes on. 

In 2015, George "M.A.C. K.i.l.l.a." Hester was the first artist signed to Black Array Entertainment in 2015. His melodic lyricism and complex writing style dubbed "the pause" allowed him to carve out his independent entity known as Hestar Worldwide. The duo have ingrained themselves into many aspects of music and community. They also address more than music by working with state and local government to combat everyday issues faced by common people. Their music and message can be felt through many platforms. Upon collaborating on this latest single "Fresh" with Snoop Dogg, they have broken another barrier in the proverbial struggle for unity and peace from the East Coast to the West Coast. Hoping that more and more art can blossom from this project.

Stream “Fresh” on all available music streaming platforms including Spotify
