DMX could move from spiritual anguish one minute to a narrative about the sins of the streets the next, yet keep it all part of the same complex character, sort of like a hip-hop Johnny Cash. Fans, celebrities, family and the music world are mourning the death of rap legend DMX, who died Friday at age 50. We know the legacy and the highlights, lets talk about what sets artist apart in the game. The voice for the children that were betrayed and still fought to survive. When you not only change the rules and look of the game but do so being yourself flaws in all, you are forever inscribed in the history book of Hip-hop Pioneers.
When it came to fashion, vocal delivery, love for people and God Dmx is one of a kind and will never be duplicated. Dmx had a heavy Philadelphia influence with a big splash of the usual New York flair which made him appealing world wide. DMX until this statement is proven wrong has to be the first individual to wear Timberlands in New York during the Lugz era and that’s a check that should have been signed. On top of being one of Def Jams top artist when it came to sells, he created a movement through bike life, movies and motivational speaking. A lot of people make music but how many can be great at it and still excel in other dealings?

Big dog link chains, iced out collars on pitbulls, 4 wheelers, bringing back the overalls with no shirt look, growling and barking on the record, or just screaming “ayyooo” in general next to Jay-z, Biggie and Pack, DMX is one of the most imitated artist to touch a mic. “Belly” one of the most notable movies in the black community standing next to other greats like “Paid in Full” “Friday” and “Boyz n The Hood” will always be a fan favorite.
DMX emerged as an unmissable force in music at the turn of the millennium, remaining an influential figure in hip-hop for the last two decades. He’s best known for hits including “Party Up (Up in Here),” “X Gon Give It To Ya,” and “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem.” Despite addiction plaguing him throughout his career, DMX continued to be a force in the hip-hop genre, with six albums landing in the Billboard 200 top 10—five of which were number one. But ahead of all of that X was a great father and that showed in many ways through out his life, being a father is the key to a greater future for our children.
Thank you DMX and all hands that assisted on putting you in front of the masses to teach, learn and be heard.
Rabzdied is a Long Island, New York based artist who is never afraid of showing his emotions via his music. So that his fans can get to know what it actually feels to struggle with love. Commonly, his lyrics are all over piano melodies, punchy 808s and ear-pleasing guitar, but you can also experience stripped down versions of his music.
He can bring energy and feel to every track. Paranoid is the latest music video by Rabzdied, directed by John Fitzpatrick. This music video is based on the theme “finding way back to home”. However, the Rabzdied showed how we keep distracting by temptations while finding the way.
He started rapping during his high school, while he has been writing since 15. But he didn’t release any
music until he completed his graduation.
However, the next single that will be released before the end of this year is “Don’t leave me”. In this music video Rabzdied wants to show how it feels to deal with your insecurities when you are in a relationship with the one who has other plans.
Rabzdied would love to work with The Kid Laroi and Charlie Puth. Because he feels that Charlie Puth can create some different vibes and he would love to experiment with his music. However, The Kid Laroi never misses to show off his emotions through his music.
Rabzdied is also learning music production, but currently he is working with producers Hennytrack and OVRCZ. He loves to find talented local producers because he wants to create opportunities for people who are finding it difficult to get a way to showcase their talent.
The greatest achievement for Rabzdied was when his music was streamed at Hot 97 radio station.
Even though Rabzdied has recorded multiple music records, but now he wants to broaden his audience. Therefore, he is working on his style transition from heavily alternative to alternatively influenced with modern drums and soulful melodies.
Throughout Rabzdied’s childhood, Mac Miller was his inspiration musically. But after the biggest incident of his life he started listening to the juice wrld to get different vibes. From here, he learnt to show his emotions via music.
When the house of Rabzdied was broken, this was the biggest challenging part of his life. Because every valuable of him was taken away. Even someone who knows closely was turned against him. At that time, he became more dedicated towards his passion for music. Undoubtedly, this incident became a turning point in the life of Rabzdied.
Currently, Rabzdied is working independently. He isn’t against labels, but he believes that it’s better to
work independently until you are going to establish yourself as an individual artist as much as possible.
He always wants people to learn to never be afraid of talking about the real shit. It is common to deal with stress, depression and anxiety, but never let that eat you alive. Because everyone outside is strong enough to deal with them effectively.
Verdell Smith better known as Dell-P, recently hosted a listening party for his latest release “We Owe The World”. 17 undeniable records that are playable at anytime of the day and of course for any age group. Due to his top tier vocabulary Dell-P is able to refrain from using profanity and still deliver the pain and feeling. Most underground artist struggle to project their message and reach the masses due algorithms and music bans outside of the country. As American artist we often are not in tune with the rules and regulations other countries apply to music where the true emcee Dell-P has no fault. The humbled spitta’ has not only continued to deliver new stories, instill more morals and paint more pictures, he was able to collaborate with some like minded souls to deliver classics.
“Here For It” featuring Wil Guice has the award winning sound Philadelphia is known for. Incorporating the soul and Hip-hop with a message to uplift, you can’t be more Brotherly Love than that. Then following with a vibe that takes me back to Wu-Tang, Mos Def, Talib Kweli vibes with “Get Busy on Em” featuring Teef. The simple but catchy instrumental that puts you on a New York Subway, then the bars that blend that make you feel like you got off on some hundred and Lennox ave. Dell-P hands down has Hip-hop mastered and if the fore fathers were looking to pass the torch bring it back to Philly.
“Karma” one of my favorite records on the project for sure. The story telling ability he has is unflawed and has me anticipating the visual production. I see this being one of the stand out records that really capture the mind, ears and hearts of the people. With features from Trazsh Man, Wil Guice, Teef, Tracey Lee, MC Knowledge, Jay Reezy, Zone Boy Mir, 4evertaylormade and Wise intelligent made for a great collective of outstanding music.

Survivors from the 1921 Tulsa race massacre will each receive $100,000 following the centennial.
A Tulsa-based nonprofit will give a monetary gift to the three surviving witnesses of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. In an article in the Washington Post, it was reported that Viola Fletcher, Lessie Benningfield Randle, and Hughes Van Ellis would each be given $100,000 as part of the centennial commemorations.
Foundation founder and executive director Damario Solomon Simmons said the donations demonstrate the foundation’s commitment to ensuring justice for Black communities in Tulsa and across the country.
It is “a significant step on the long-overdue path to justice” and “a show of resistance to Greenwood’s attempts to erase” its Black community.
As a result of experiencing the bloodshed 100 years ago, all three men have talked openly about their experiences to preserve the story.
He recalled when white men and boys were entrusted with the duty of setting the city on fire following rumors of a white girl being assaulted by a Black teen. Some of [the buildings] were set ablaze. It was some of them that they tore up,” she said. “I will never want to see another event like that again.”
In his memoir, Ellis noted how he served his country as a soldier, but upon returning home he realized his skin color would remain a hindrance to progress.
“In my home country, I did not find any of those freedoms I had fought for overseas. Even though freedom was ripped away from me at home, I fought for freedom overseas,” he said “Both my community and home were destroyed. As far as I am concerned, America will be able to resolve this conflict in the long run. In the aftermath of the war, I discovered this freedom I fought for overseas was no longer there. My skin color prevented me from getting GI Bill benefits like white servicemen.”
A highlight of the testimony was Fletcher’s testimony before House members on the continued fight for reparations. While Simmons recognizes that the $300,000 gift pales by comparison to the survivors’ desired compensation, she hopes it offers some comfort and hope.
He expressed his excitement about doing his part to correct these injustices. As we continue to call for reparations, we must alleviate the financial burdens left behind by not only the massacre itself but also systemic racism that followed the massacre. In order to ensure enduring injustices are actively challenged, we have to tell their stories, confront our past, and learn from it. Tulsa Race Massacre changed the course of American history forever. The Tulsa Race Massacre is a prime example of how America continues to struggle with systemic racism.
