The indie rapper known as Ra-Sool has
released his new single, “Stronger,” feat. Naomi. The track has
been proudly published on the Treyead Entertainment independent music
label without the influence of the corporate music industry. Founded
on a booming bass line, a rock-solid back beat and featuring
brilliant vocals by Naomi, “Stronger” from Ra-Sool is a wake-up
call for America shouted from the soul of the hip-hop underground.
Phoeniz, Arizona's Ra-Sool blends
qualities from many styles of music to achieve his characteristic
sound. These include elements of hip-hop, R&B, jazz, soul, rock,
and pop, each of which may be heard in his new “Stronger” single.
The sheer force of the track may be felt in its first moments, before
the song truly begins. The first lyrics both assert this strength and
dedicate it to two recent martyrs of social injustice: “Trayvon,
Mike Brown – rest in peace.”
This feeling builds to a crescendo over
several extremely deliberate and well-written verses, each of which
exhorts the listener to consider the history of oppressed Americans
and to consider, also, that these tribulations have made
African-Americans and the civil rights movement ever so much
stronger.
Commenting on his new single,
“Stronger,” Ra-Sool writes:
“People feel the echoes of today's
problems which turn into tomorrow's future. Many livelihoods have
been taken for granted leaving holes in the hearts of many. With the
recent decision of the Michael Brown grand jury to not indict, I
decided to bridge the gap with a song dedicated to Mike Brown,
Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and families abroad facing the same
struggle.”
Ra-Sool's song isn't just art for the
sake of awareness, however. It's art for direct civic transformation.
“I am releasing this project not for
profit, rather for creative activism to promote social change and
inspiration across the African-American diaspora.”
It must not go unmentioned that the
vocal work of featured singer Naomi on Ra-Sool's new single is one of
the track's most prominent qualities. Exceptionally precise in terms
of tone and bearing the natural grace that marks the world's most
gifted singers, Naomi brings a feminine power which pairs with
Ra-Sool's own measured aggression and makes the song a full and
complete work of hip hop for the betterment of humanity.
“Stronger” by Ra-Sool is available
online worldwide. Fans of hip hop and justice everywhere should
definitely get in early.
