Detroit Rapper Redpill has a nice lyrical flow with great production. I personally like his song All of us Produced by Apollo Brown. 2015 is gearing up to be a big year for Detroit-based rapper Red Pill. He released a single and announced a multi-album deal with indie rap power house Mello Music Group. And today Red Pill has released his first project with the label, a 3-track EP titled Learning to Punch.
I know this thread is kind of promotion but guilty simpson, black milk and flint's jon connor all had big years. Of course commercially big sean
Dej Loaf had a huge year.
where can you regularly go see local hip-hop artists perform?
Put your ear to the ground for the afterhours [[especially around Eastern Market, Grand River, or Corktown). That's the best place where some of the artists start from.Quote:

Yet, comic to another form, I'll weigh in on Bach [[and those with a yen for Gestaltic crossovers-especially with patterns of thought and formulas and mathematics will like "Godel, Escher, Bach" by Hofstadter-which compares the art, music, and mathematics of those three with a Lewis-ugh-Carol twist. The part on Crab Canons is interesting.). What was a riff from an X-Files episode became this: https://vimeo.com/129620623Who says it can't all come together?
I was waiting for that on this thread of the forum, Y'all didn't disappoint.Quote:
