Somebody by VV.I.X published on 2022-02-21T22:20:30Z *VVIXTAPE* #3: SOMEBODY Hip-Hop is the truest American art form. Born in oppression, raised in revolution, survived in struggle. Like Jazz or the Blues, these most improbable of artistic arcs are only made possible by the audacity of their pioneers – those geniuses in the shadows – from whose honest sacrifice and perseverance erupted into the mainstream zeitgeist the beauty and brilliance of once hidden truths. May GOD bless the legends, like the indelible Nas and Lauryn Hill, who we affectionally call teachers, grateful they continue to teach. For me, a devoted study of the high sciences runs directly through Esco’s pen, which seems only to become more intricate and meaningful with age and experience. KD2 is a revelation. Hit-Boy is a beast. Nobody is a classic. As Hip-Hop ascends into its rightful place as ‘fine art’, this music continues to bring me home to where I’m supposed to be…to a place I always feel like Somebody.
