SoulStice ft. Monique Harcum - Strange Kinda Love

SoulStice - Strange Kinda Love

Producer: SBe

Album: Beyond Borders

Label: Wandering Soul

It’s one of those issues for which the phrase “elephant in the room” was invented, and it’s not getting any easier to ignore: hip-hop’s general attitude toward homosexuality is kinda… Stone Age. With rappers tossing around “no homo” like verbal punctuation, it seems evident that the status quo is a problem. The solution? Well, Strange Kinda Love, the latest single off SoulStice‘s recently-released Beyond Borders LP is a damned good start. On the newly-released cut, the Chicago-born, D.C.-based emcee draws a comparison between today’s controversy regarding gay marriage and the formerly forbidden, now (for the most part) accepted practice of interracial marriage, looking forward to the day when equal rights become a reality for homosexual couples. Backed by SBe‘s upbeat, piano-driven boardwork and topped off with a catchy hook by Monique Harcum, this track is as ear-pleasing as its message is (in my opinion) necessary. Booth readers, your thoughts on SKL and its contentious topic?

Music is about freedom of speech and my friend SoulStice does a great job of reminding us all to exercise this opportunity more often. We NEED to discuss what it not being discussed. Who else has the platform and the opportunity on a daily basis? Exactly. Follow @DJBooth

Mike Dreams Tastemaker Total Ratings: 2130	Rating: Mike Dreams's Top Rated Songs The soulful production was cool. It was a nice chill track. Equality is needed. People have a free will to do whatever they want, cuz God gave them this freewill. If people don't agree with it, that's fine, but they shouldn't have a right or say in what someone else is going to do, because that's the denying the very freewill God have them to do so.

Mr.Top Hat Tastemaker Total Ratings: 4267	Rating: Mr.Top Hat's Top Rated Songs Not too many artists are delivering songs dealing with such kind of topics/message. Though, his flow left me asking for more, there is still a strong message in this track that can not be overlooked. A must-listen, full of thought-provoking lyrics backed by a soulful instrumental. My Pick For Track Of The Day.
