lik - rhythm and poetry for the ghetto children
/
The artist highlight of the week goes to Lik and his mixtape “rhythm and poetry for the ghetto children.” This guy is super dope and a local creative and we’re so excited for you all to discover some new music from him. He gave us a peek into his mind when he released his mixtape, May 1st! Here’s a little about the project from Lik himself:
“THIS PROJECT IS NOT A GUIDELINE TO A WAY OF BEING, BUT ME ACCESSING MY TRUE POWER INTERNALLY AND LEARNING THE MEANING OF “SELF LOVE” THROUGH SELF REFLECTION AND SELF EXPLORATION. TIME AND TIME AGAIN CHILDREN OF THE DIASPORA ARE TOLD NOT TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES, THAT THEIR UNIQUE OUTLOOK SIMPLY DOESN’T MATTER. FEAR BASED TACTICS ARE CONSTANTLY IMPLEMENTED AND IT DRAGS US FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY FROM OUR TRUE NATURE AND THE CREATOR. RHYTHM AND POETRY IS SIMPLY ME USING THE ARTFORM OF MUSIC TO HARMONIZE WITH THE CREATOR, TO CHANNEL MY INNER CHILD AND INSPIRE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. IM AWARE THAT THIS PROCESS DOESN’T STOP, THAT KNOWLEDGE IS INFINITE AND EVOLUTION IS A CONSTANT PROCESS. SO IM JUST DOCUMENTING THE PROGRESS I’VE MADE ON MY JOURNEY THUS FAR AND I’LL CONTINUE TO SHARE AND CHANNEL THESE MESSAGES FROM THE CREATOR UNTIL I LEAVE THIS EARTH. LOVE!”
I promise he’s not yelling, just super excited for you to hear what he’s up to. I want you guys to go listen for yourself and let us know what you think. It is a project including production from Knowsthetime, KLEFTO, Chuck Strangers, Wayne J Valentine, Bugginout, and K Le Maestro, Haz Solo, and Malik Abduul Rahmaan.
If you’re looking for a new sound, this is your guy!
