NONAME, SINCERELY.

A RARE CONVERSATION WITH THE CHICAGO RAPPER ABOUT PATIENCE, PRIVACY, AND HER EXCEPTIONAL FIRST SOLO PROJECT.

Found out about Caleborate from my, then 18-19 year old, nephew. The kids aren’t only listening to one type of rap. They are as dynamic as the music that moves them.

High character people emit a value to the world that is invaluable. 

So much to like about Vince. Wish him much success.

My musical leanings, most often, go along with artists who I feel have high character. Not that they are completely righteous or without opportunities to grow but, at their core, they’ve made me believe they’re people who are honorable.

There aren't many opportunities, especially via social networks, for to spend 33:35 on the same vibe. It all moves so fast that we moved on before we're able to know what we've missed. #thelistening is a space created to slow things down & be intentional about sharing music that has a positive affect on our personal, community, cultural well-being. Tonight we share 'The Extraordinary Pleasure of Being Someone Else' x @briansenemarc. No better vibe on a Thursday night in August than #thelistening. Follow the # on Twitter and simply listen along. A convo about the qualities of the album that compel us to listen flows as the album plays (like the convos you've had with friends in your car, dorm, basement, stoop, etc.) There is no criticism or critique during #thelistening. The market is saturated with that. Talking about how the music we choose to listen to adds to us adds to us. Illustration c/o @ez_pz_

Been rocking with Sene since A Day Late A Dollar Short. Supremely talented rapper, actor, singer, writer. Catch this vibe.

Glad this track is getting some additional exposure. Was my favorite beat on #NHYP. Great look for Ohio.

Something about Caleborate is endearing. I love listening to kids unafraid of being bright.

There’s a serious and mature level of concern when you relate to Red Pill’s music. Life is heavy, and the nature of who we are (those who relate to Red Pill) creates an atmosphere we use to increase our load vs lessen it. We accept a moral burden others shun. We demand a level of virtue from ourselves that can stunt expectations of success. Our paths often look like the art for this single. Unpaved and lonely.

Love the different perspective BBC provides when talking to+about hiphop. They seem to do a really good job targeting a mature, evolving, progressive audience. Content seems a lot healthier.
