H.O.P.E. – Believe In HOPE Wright (Album)

If I told you that Compton has more to offer than gang violence and Kendrick Lamar your probably wouldn’t believe me, so allow me to show you instead. I’m actually very excited to present to you all the latest project from Hub City’s H.O.P.E., not only as just another in the growing list of great projects coming from the Left Coast but as a project from an artist I’ve actually been championing for the last few years. I hope you all enjoy the project as much as I do.

Kendrick Lamar Talks About Growing Up In Compton (Video)

Kendrick Lamar’s debut is at the top of my list of most anticipated albums.

Lamar tells me he began singing about his city, his struggles, and his survival at the age of 13. Now years later, he has nearly 300 songs, and must narrow it down to 12 for an album release. When asked which are his favorites, song titles like “The Hard Part 2,” “Cut You Off,” “Average Joe,” and “Faith” roll off his tongue. According to Lamar, all the songs have a message. Whether it’s about the ills of negativity, or the senseless loss of his uncle to prison, Lamar sings with a raw, honest, and sometimes angered voice. Many of his lyrics come from what he’s seen and experienced growing up in Compton. – Lu Parker.
