Impending Doom

“It is the still small voice, that the soul heeds, not the deafening blasts of doom”

What music needs more than anything right now is music that is expressive of true emotions and thoughts. Hip Hop especially. Although popular hip hop has its place to provide high energy music that bumps and is easy to follow, it is devoid of powerful and striking emotions and thoughts that resonate with listeners. When listeners are left with a cookie cutter product music gets stale and this may be one huge reason why hip hop is not charting and making waves in 2024. However, when music strikes a chord and presents something not only original but filled with vivid imagery and complex lyrics it gives the listener base something exciting and unique to enjoy.

The track in conversation is Impending Doom by Steady Dope. This artist is a favorite around the office and with his dark, morose style it rejects the expected and typical expectations of what hip hop should or can be. This is a frontier in hip hop that is still being explored. Artists like Steady Dope are challenging the normal variety of music and creating what they like to hear and they know there is a vibe for. If you enjoy music with a little variety and some surly and gloomy topic in the writing then you definitely need to hear Steady Dope’s Impending Doom.
