HipHopera

This was so much fun @banatunde akinonoye

This is Babatunde Akinboboye, aka HipHopera Guy on YouTube. I don’t normally go for opera, personally, but this performance is fascinating and he has many videos talking about linguistics, especially pertaining to Yorùbá (which I have been horribly mispronouncing this whole time). He’s also just extremely charismatic and funny.

Bump this in your jeeps! Zakiyyah's official Shades of Black: The Hip-Hopera music video is here!

About 4 weeks ago, a video showed up of this man singing an aria from The Marriage of Figaro to a hip hop beat. I absolutely adored it and was so excited to see him come out with another one today. If you like what you hear and have the money to spare, go to his Indigogo campaign and pledge some money to get him to make an album of his new hiphopera style!

THANOS A Divine Dichotomy) - REVERB360 The Wild Beast Beat Tape

Thee baddest villain in MU. The man who intrinsically shows the divinity of duality and the significance of purpose. Driven by the desire to fulfil an unquestionable destiny. Thanos represents the nature of the consciousness of man. Encapsulating the mortifying outcomes of what the titan believes to be a righteous way to end the suffering of man. The concept of sacrifice is not new to us in Africa. Shaka was much akin to Thanos; indeed embodying the divine dichotomy of knowing to do right and understanding the wrongs and their outcomes and taking the onus of that responsibility. This beat, designs the tenacity of Thanos for the ears. It traps you into a moment that may make you feel chivalrous and driven. Ambitious, to say the least
