This song is amazing, it has really blown my mind. I can't believe I haven't heard it before.
It's weird, with my passion for music I have yet to find a guy that is as crazy about it as me. That is my dream man .
That is the exact song I first found of Lowkey and was like . What have I been ignoring across the pond?
And as for Ali, I have studied Malcolm X since I was a freshman in high school so I have been drawn to Malcolm's story, life and teachings (including Islam's teachings of peace). I don't ascribe to any religion but I recognize the principles can be applied to help uplift oneself.
I found Ali in college when I was going through a tough time. Moved 400 miles from home. Broke of course. Didn't have many friends. On a campus where I felt like an alien and I honestly wanted to quit school and go back home. I don't even remember how I found the album but the moment I heard it all at once. I just felt his passion and a lot of the pain in some of the songs I hella identified with. And songs like Star Quality, Shadows on the Sun, Forest Whitiker, Picket Fence and Champion made me feel like I wasn't alone in feeling out of place, insecure and unsure but knowing that I wanted more. And that it was ok to feel all of that. It helped me to not freaking quit on myself. I listened to that album over and over for that entire semester. The vibe of the album ran the gamut of emotions and I just felt better when I listened to it. It got me through.
It was like I found a man who was honest, not misogynistic, creative, humble, funny, not afraid to express his flaws and super duper talented. What more could I ask for .
I always respected his honestly and passion and his pureness of heart. And I was blown away that he didn't cuss for the most part . He basically reignited my love of hip hop and I guess myself. Been a fan ever since.
And I loved Mourning In America. I bought that joint on vinyl . Prob my favorite from that year.
And I love Slug. And Ants production is just phenomenal. I'm feeling that Southsiders album a lot. I think they finally nailed their change in sound that they were moving towards on the last couple of projects.
