Hip-Hop creates moments in a person's life that turns smiles into memories. The memories then become stories, and those stories become inspirations. Ra-K7ng has created a statement project where he gives tribute to the Golden Era of Hip-Hop while also giving tribute to the creator of his rhymes: His Soul.


The Golden Age is an 11 song project where every track on the album is dedicated to every year in the 90s. With production from DJ Kawon, Ra K7ng talks about his past and the journey he has traveled to claim his life and give his love to the music. Revealing revelations of self awareness, growth, and a new love for life, this star in the making took his ability to raise a pen and create with paper a project that opens the soul of the artist to the ears of the listener.


Part of connecting to the listener is giving a story and a path to connect with the artist that is providing the entertainment you are experiencing. With DJ Kawon cooking up beats with a Boom Bap feel with modern sound effects, Ra K7ng walks the listener from being found in beats to listening to music that his father played, to renewing his spirit and finding himself in his journey into manhood,


With reflections of 90s music like Nas' Memory Lane, Deathrow and Street Knowledge music that was street and had messages in it, this album is not just a call back but an intro to the career of an artist that acknowledges his vocal pattern and rhyme skill is going to one day lead him to a conversation about Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. On one of the highlights of the project 92 (Year I Was Born), Not only acknowledges his birth, it acknowledges his rebirth from new life, to new found life in one song.


The Golden Age of Hip-Hop saw Hip-Hop music expanding into the world showing the world the power, and influence it can have to enforce change. The Change was not only social but people were able to freely hear the voices of the next poets to inspire the world through beats and rhymes. Ra K7ng's projects The Healing Tape will teach his listeners and The Golden Age will aid in him growing with the listener by giving them the inspiration to live and create do to the gold Hip-Hop sewed into his soul.

Once upon a time Hip-Hop was never afraid to stand out and be a black light in a world full of grey areas. There was a time when the "norm" was unusual or just not wanted. Over time Hip-Hop went into the mainstream and people saw Hip-Hop evolve into a sectioned off secret that had many styles of word play and delivery formulated by region and experience of the orator that gave us the message. Today though is a different time and the genre has conformed in many ways.


Today's "Hip-Hop" is a mixture of boring beats in the mainstream and a lot of the artists sound the same. There are some artists that still exist with a different sound and they are the ones that give the listener a refreshing joy related to the feel of music. Today's feature is Cyber City Society brought to you by Fatboi Sharif and Lonesword, this is an album that will melt your brain and reshape your ears when you experience this musical journey.


This album is a mix of the inner soul and the outside of your mind clashing together as they meet in the rhythm of your ear drum. The musical background in a soundtrack of thought, horror, introspection and gritty inner conflict music. The lyrical delivery given on this project is not the singing pattern of today's Hip-Hop artists. The lyrical delivery on this project is word play that is abstract and built upon how one understands not only how one hears the words being said. Sometimes we are trapped into the spiral of bars delivery and vibe and we miss the bars with delivery that have meaning sprinkled with a message that is eerily truth driven towards thought not just a head nod. This is what makes this album art not just a quick listen.


In a world where the vibe is going to be the main element of dance and having fun, it is refreshing to still have part of the genre that still scares you, entices your mind, and makes you sit down to enjoy the feeling of terror when you think "What the hell did I just listen to?" Cyber City Society a thought provoking album that will be a "mind f*ck" that will aid a listener to question what they experience and to those that catches its' vibe, they will be struck by the integrity of the rhymes and the beats that were crafted to make this type of art. Enjoy it while you can, because real art sometimes is missed due to the barrage of constant noise the world distracts us with, while others are cherished as time passes. Either way look at the cover art of this project and ask yourself are you caught in the matrix of distraction, or can you take off the mask that society sees you as to be as honest as the inner voice that exist inside of yourself? The truth awaits and this albums does to.


Cyber City Society is available on Bandcamp and all DSP's as well.
