Heavens Sake
“For heaven's sake, my heart, conceal your troubles; then, should the seas roar and the skies fall, you will be safe.”
The world of hip hop has changed drastically over the course of a couple of decades. Old hip hop heads are becoming relics of a forgotten age and every time an opinion on new music is uttered old heads are shot down as being unsupportive of the evolution of hip hop. There are however, aspects that old heads hold dear in the culture. Things like not riding waves, being true to their culture, maintaining an ideology that is consistent with their overall values. These things although not entirely gone from the hip hop community tend to be overlooked and the strangest aspects of the hip hop world are now glorified. This is not the attitude of Jae Santiago.
His music is a throwback to an era of hip hop that has head nodding beats and production that is solid, lyrics that are real and speaking on the real. One cannot mistake the music of a true hip hop head such as Jae Santiago’s as a trend or a flash in the pan or someone who is attempting to ride the wave of internet clout. This artist is true to the word and his art stands the test of time by not only being authentic but also legitimately being dope. A stand out track from the artist is Heaven’s Sake featuring Ekym1536 and Villy Tha Kidd. It has a heavy gritty hip hop sound that bucks the contemporary conventions and challenges those who think they want it. Listen to the latest track from the man and make sure to follow, comment, like, save, share and support! This is New Mexico hip hop!
