Just Be You
What does hip hop music mean to you today?
By Lisa Wilson
Hip hop music to me means culture. It shows growth. Hip For college student Kayron hop music put people from my Calloway, trying to mimic an neighborhood in everyone's artist that’s not himself is not for living room. I didn’t grow up him. Growing up as a next to the Cosby's. So there youngster Kayron credits hip was disconnect there for hop for helping him and others people who grew up similar to not feel ashamed for not being me. It showed it was okay to able to live a perfect life in a accept who you are. It was a lot perfect neighborhood. Seeing of glorifying of the bad things in other hip hop artists talk about the community, which led to the realness in their backyards more stereotypes, but it lead to was something Kayron could comfort more than anything. I connect to from listening to hip argue that without hip-hop, we hop music. wouldn’t have Obama. Now if that’s not growth I don’t know Now Kayron is able to share what is. his experiences with his own fans today that listen and love How do you want to be his music. After wrapping up different than other artists his first music video, “We today? Gone,” which depicts Kayron’s I actually don’t worry about sound being different and not being different with my music. I comparable to other rappers just focus on being me. I feel today, he’s ready to make sure like that is being different he is always just being himself. enough these days. Everybody With a lyrical conscience, is so focused on the template Kayron continues to bring of who they are supposed to be something fresh to his music. that they sound like everybody Check out his interview about else. I’m regular though. 20
The shooting of the “We gone” video was ridiculous. We kept it pg13 though. lol. But first I want to thank FweshlyDipped for the video, that’s my camp, thank my producer Deandrea for the beat, and I want to thank all my peoples out there that shared and retweeted my video. I’m very appreciative. But the video was crazy. We were having fun, it was cool ‘cuz’ a lot of people were in it. I wish every video were like that. We had crazier footage but we had to keep it politically correct. Lol. When Deandrea sent me the beat and ask me what I can make it do, I first got a Neptune and old school Pharrell beat. So I had to get on it in a deep lyrical concept. so the whole song is a metaphor. At first it sounds like a party song, having fun, and we gone, like if someone were drunk. But if you listen to it, I really mean ‘we gone’ like nobody can come close to me when it come to rapping. If you listen to the first verse I’m saying look how I get these rappers we so far ahead. How do you feel about West Coast Rap today? Ahh man west coast music is where it’s at. We brought the essence of hip hop now everybody got they own lane. Not trying to bottle up and fit the gang-banging template like I was saying earlier. You got the go up/turn up music like YG and TYGA and the jerkin music. www.youngcelebritynews.com
