Most people would say that the time for true lyricism in hip-hop has passed. The purpose for hip-hip has always been to tell a story, and in the mainstream, those stories have lately become endless narratives of drugs, promiscuous sex, and copious amounts of money.
Being the platform that we are, we take it upon ourselves to bring to light the keepers of the original flames of hip-hop. Stevie Franks, an artist from Lawnside, NJ, chooses to embrace the process of storytelling in his lyrics, while still telling us that there’s room for the “alternative” new style that has begun to dominate the genre.
Stevie Franks latest project “Morals Over Money” produced by TracQaeda, is available now on iTunes and Google Play Store. Through his music Franks touches on his experiences growing up in a historically-rich African American town, the important resurgence of New Jersey rap, and his own style, known as “self motivational therapeutic rap.” The first single off of the project is, “Need Be”
