Its Friday night and Im having the time of my life.
Right.

Hip-Hop Music is still not accepted by most of the populace in Singapore. Unlike Rock, Punk, Ska and etcetera, Hip-Hop is still not widely known. People keep dissing about it and keep saying that Hip-Hop is not good, only rap about the negatives, they never sing but blabber and mutter words. I think it is the lack of understanding of the essentials of the elements. Rap or Emcee is not blabbering. It requires a certain skill to do. Not everyone can do. And rapping is about telling your story. Your words. Into an artform. Into a skill.

Exposure is important. Local Emcees could make more radio-friendly music. This can happen. We have a mission to complete. But my kind of conscious rap won't get much attention. Just like all conscious emcees. Its okay. At least I tell the truth.

I desire to engage myself in lounge music and indulge in savoury wine by the beach.
Cafe Del Mar. Siloso Beach.
Maybe next month.
