Marlé Blu Feat. Black Boi of Mullage - Ready or Not [User Submitted]

It’s no question that in today’s mainstream Hip Hop music (specifically that which is on the radio) a “socially conscious” void exists. The rap game has become saturated with many artists who seem to follow the same template, in terms of the content they release: Sex, money, violence, and drugs. Many of these artists, for whatever reason (whether it’s out of fear of having their “gangsta” card revoked or concern that labels/radio programmers won’t support anything other than cultural oppression) don’t deviate from that norm. They shy away from ever touching on political, cultural, or societal issues and play it “safe”; thus making the voice of positivity and unity in the black community that of a whisper.



Marlé Blu and Black Boi (of the group Mullage) have taken a step to change all that. These artists, a real-life definition of “love and hip hop,” coined the “Black Power-Couple,” have combined their love for lyrics with their view points on social injustice and have released the 2015 version of “Ready or Not” (previously recorded by the Fugees). Black Boi and Marlé Blu have managed to find the perfect balance between great music and relevant content, while tackling topics such as racism, police brutality, oppression, and black on black violence. If you appreciate music with a message, you will thoroughly enjoy “Ready or Not” by Marlé Blu and Black Boi.
