[Saturday Spotlight] GRANT, Raiquan Thomas, & R.E.A.L. Tha Poet

admin by admin
November 11, 2017
[Saturday Spotlight] Teenear, Connor Evans & Trap Beckham

This week’s post was difficult to curate. Not for the lack of great material that hit my inbox but more so because I’ve only been listening to JAY-Z because I’ll be seeing him for the first time at the Amway Center in Orlando tonight. My wife and I have never been to a show together and we’ve both never had the opportunity to see Jay live in concert. I was able to break my Hov’ playlist spell for a little bit to put you onto three excellent tracks that need your attention. I actually vlogged some of my process of going through my email to find new music for this post; you can watch on Monday. Follow JoeCoadTwo on Twitter and I’ll post it there on Monday afternoon.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests
Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

GRANT

‘Stupid Questions’ stood out to me because of my distaste for small talk. Texas’ GRANT discusses all of the stupid questions that he faces based on relationships, both with women and strangers. His voice meshes in with the production to provide a laid back feeling for the casual R&B lover. Look for this on his Freedom Is Happiness II project, coming soon.

 

Raiquan Thomas

21 year old Raiquan Thomas showcases a veteran savvy that many artists his age do not possess. The Portsmouth, VA singer/rapper is currently majoring in vocal performance and music industry at James Madison, using his skills from school to further his career. ‘Time Out’ is produced by Joseph Nichols and was written in a dark time during Thomas’ life. We all need a break from life to figure it out. Sometimes a time out from everything is the best way to accomplish it, as Thomas shows over the stringy and upbeat production from Nichols.

 

 

R.E.A.L. Tha Poet

I feel this week we’ve covered a lot of questions with the previous two artists. Let’s add some more with Kentucky’s R.E.A.L. Tha Poet and his ‘In The New World’ video. R.E.A.L. and producer J-Ideas take us to a not so distant dystopian society that doesn’t allow you to think for yourself, turning you into a slave minded simpleton. The video does an excellent job of getting to R.E.A.L.’s points in the song, showing off an almost grunge style between the two.
