I have to give props to Lil’ Wayne on my Hip-hop Tribute. He made a bold statement with the song Best Rapper Alive, making a claim to the thrown of rap. Since then he been consistently banging out hits. I take this track and do something a little creative with it. Let me know if y’all catch it.

Kanye West definitely changed the game with track Jesus Walks. It was the first (that I know of) widely accepted gospel rap song (yes gospel rap). When I got a hold of the beat for my Hip-hop Tribute I did my own version of rap gospel. Check it out.

The next instrumental track I use on my Hip-hop Tribute is Jay-z’s Lucifer. The beat on this track is sick. When it came out in ’03 it was one of my favorite tracks on the Black Album. I had a lot of fun writing and recording this track. Take a listen.

The next track I use on my Hip-hop Tribute is 50 Cent’s Wanksta. When this track came out it was hot to death. This was probably the first 50 Cent track that had commercial success. 50 Cent was known for taking other people’s tracks and adding his flavor to it. I figure why not do the same to one of his tracks. Enjoy.

The next track I rhyme over in my Hip-hop Tribute is Jay-z’s Takeover. The original track is historic because it was a response to Nas and other rappers who were beefing with Jay at the time. In my version, I switch it up a little to have some fun with it. Check it out.

I’ve been rhyming since I was 11
and will continue to rhyme until I die. My music is music for the mind, music for the heart, and music for the soul. It’s music for me. It’s therapy, it’s self realization, it’s being able to step outside ...
