And now for something completely different. While we pause on certain days to remember specific events in history, some can be felt and seen every day through the eyes of our acquaintances, friends and family. This week marks an opportunity to reflect on one of the most tragic experiences the world has seen, Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), the official Israeli commemoration of the six million Jews lost to Nazi Germany during WWII. In honor of this holiday, Brooklyn emcee Bekay has released Remember, a record that shows true storytelling in hip-hop has not been lost. Backed by production from France’s DJ Dbefekt, Bekay tells the tale of a single family during the Holocaust and the events that they had to experience. We give you plenty of music to enjoy, but this is music to truly make you think. So take a minute this week to honor the loved ones lost and realize the blessings that each one of us has today. If you enjoyed this ode, be sure to keep it locked for more from Bekay, including Remember’s upcoming video, here at the DJBooth.

I'd rather not rate this song, instead taking this moment to thank Bekay for making such an impactful, meaningful, and important record. So few people spoke up during the way - its encouraging to hear artists in 2011 not afraid to do so.

Great song. Great job by Bekay. He uses hip-hop for what it should be, a way to connect people and tell important stories. Here, he brings to light the horrors of the Holocaust to a younger audience so that it won't be forgotten.
