Kodie Shane — Back From the Future Album Review
So today I will be reviewing Kodie Shane's Back From the Future, who is part of Lil Yachty's Sailing Team. Even though Kodie Shane has been rapping since middle school, she didn’t start to pick up pace in her music career until she really teamed up with Lil’ Yachty and joined the Sailing Team which was the first time I even heard of her. And ever since they dropped the “All In” video on The Fader, I have been listening to all her music mainly from sound cloud but for Back From the Future, I’ll be listening to it on Apple Music.

Lil Uzi Vert dropped “Luv is Rage 2”, and going into the listening of this project, I was pretty much expecting more of what put him on the charts, which for me was a lot of songs that could be played in the club and are part of what makes him a rock star. But, this project also includes a look into his more personal side, where we see that he’s had to confront pain of a broken relationship.

Rap DisciplePublished 7 years ago in BeatSmokepurpp – 'Deadstar'
Hip-hop has been enjoying a shift in its sonic landscape for a few years now. Southern rappers like T.I. and Jeezy were ahead of the pack because trap instrumentals are everywhere now. Today’s beats are arguably more innovative than they were in the past; there’s less sampling and more 808 drums.

In the windy city of Chicago, there once was a rapper named Lil Herb. Rapping alongside close collaborator Lil Bibby, the two showed hip-hop the raw talent they possessed with their hit “Kill Shit.” Bibby’s deep voice over beats gave the impression of a war general, and Herb’s intensity and flow made his microphone a deadly weapon.

Since James Baldwin’s death, we have now entered a period of meta-understanding of the racism and the system built upon the massacre of the indigenous people of North America by European settlers. Furthermore, the use of human labour under conditions deemed slavery, provided the basis for expansion of the American Empire, lead to the induction of the “American Dream” lived by White-Americans in the 1950s. However, it was not until the 1960s that Black-Americans were deemed equal partners to their racially polarized counterparts through the Civil Rights act of 1964. Given these existing historical events, Baldwin suggests that instead of focusing on exterminating racism, rather, the identity of the African-American lies within their ability to gain freedom and reject the captivity imposed by the racism of the White American System, where hip-hop provides the avenue to freedom through education.
