News from the front line


Verb: Growing up I was always politically active. It went hand in hand with the times I was growing up in. Back then politics were engrained in Hip-Hop culture, everyone from Public Enemy to BDP were sowing the seeds of political activism. I’m sure many of us back then were tilling the soil.

On their debut release, "Seductivity", Times 4 presents an energetic concoction of all-original music, integrating groove-based funk/hiphop beats with modern harmony and improvised jazz.

What is this?

This blog presents my sole opinion on politics, music and the world in general. This opinion comes from the experience I had growing up on hip hop, TV and lots of fast food. I do not solely “rep” the hip hop nation, which is made up of many different people with varying political opinions, thoughts and views on the world in general. I keep up with the latest musical trends, some news and hip hop gossip, and I just listen to a lot of indy hip hop and rock music. I hope you find reading my blog at least halfway interesting! If you don’t like it, there’s much more to choose from! But this is mine. I do welcome outside writers, if you got something to say and want to write for my blog, hit me up, let me know, and I’ll publish what you write.
