There are many artists around us who are continuously making big moves and putting out amazing music, but a lot of us do not notice. This blog is dedicated to finding those amazing artists and exposing their body of work. Adisa Diop (The name sounds like a combination of Nigerian and Senegalese) gives me a certain vibe, I feel like this is another Nipsey hussle in Indianapolis and you all must pay attention now. He is preaching community, empowerment, Investment, love , honor, and respect. I have blessed today after viewing this very intellectual documentary titled Still shinin and I encourage you to do the same by reading the write-up and clicking the play button below.

Still Shinin is a film narrative about the process of artists transforming their trauma into art. This documentary explores how artists use their trauma to fuel their art, how the art heals their trauma, and how their art also empowers themselves and others. This larger narrative about the power of art as a form of healing was crafted through the lens of Diop’s own healing process while creating the album Still Shinin’. The artists also involved in the making of the album – Willis, Allison Victoria, Kidd, Baby Ebony – lend their personal narratives to highlight arts impact on their own lives and healing processes.

Khiry Managan comes  through with a very dope summer song. It reminds me of Dead Prez’s summer classic titled  “ Happiness ”– One of the greatest Hiphop songs of all time. Happiness was a soundtrack on the trending Netflix movie “ When they see us ”. The dreadlocks and the soccer in the video reminds me of the Great Jamaican reggae singer Bob Marley. Bob Marley was known for always playing soccer in his music videos.

Khiry is on the verge of a major break and i hope all things come together for good for him. The video was shot in Indianapolis USA by Tai Payne whose portfolio is growing tremendously.

Papyfire shows a lot of versatility on this new song titled “ Tools ”. He is able to deliver his dope vocals on this trap beat and it seems to be another hit record in the making. I really want to see the artist from Nigeria break into the big scene because he has shown he can hold his own in any genre and on any type of beat.
