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?

Amen, Richard. 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.

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. |

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. |
