It’s rare that a hip-hop song is emotionally resonant without being corny. M.anifest’s latest track, “Suffer,” gets there. Budo’s in-the-wind composition and the MC’s ability to smile through the pain provide the levity for a song that is ultimately about redemption. An uplifting track for your Thursday.

VIDEO: “Heaven Only Knows” (A.R.M. ft. Brother Ali)
I know I’ve been all about the videos lately. (Pssst: it’s a tactic this blogger uses when he doesn’t have the time or inspiration to write something of substance, shhh…don’t tell anyone.)
Here’s yet another one: A.R.M.’s video for “Heaven Only Knows.” A.R.M. is based in Minneapolis (M.anifest by way of Ghana, Krukid by Uganda), with the Seattle connect being the production which is by Town-native, Budo. If I were looking to have only one producer handle my debut album (dropping 2015, son!), Budo would be on my shortlist.
(P.S. Just kidding about my debut album. Please, I couldn’t rap my way out of a wet tortilla.)
