If Hip Hop is dead, he’s calling the shot… That is the west coast’s Buxaburn calling the shot on his new LP The Distance. With no vocoder present and plenty of bass and kick, Buxaburn reminds us that despite the mainstream and internet trends, good Hip Hop still exists. There’s no TRVP here, just the real deal stripped down raw Hip Hop with well thought out messages, dope beats, unique production, and creative lyrics.
I’m always happy to hear good things from the un-radio friendly styles, whether it’s Hip Hop, Rock, Funk or Jazz. The radio never dictated what was alive and I think that is the misconception shared by many throughout the decades. Now more than ever we can reach out online through social media and various music hosting sites. Hip Hop is alive, I’ve heard it and now you will too – with Buxaburn’s new LP. You can see it too in his new video for the single Skeleton Walk feat Bo’kem Allah.
