Welcome To 2023 And Hip-Hop History.

Happy new year to everyone that is reading this! 2022 was a wild year and it effected everyone harshly. We entered the tail end of Covid-19 (maybe) and we came out of a time where people close to use died in numbers near and far. We buried our loved ones and people that helped to mold our childhood as peers and heroes to us. Now that 2022 is over we have much to look forward to.

Unfortunately people are still going to pass away and tragedy happens every year. We will continue to lose people that have touched our hearts and souls but this year coming out of pain we can create more joy than the sadness we have experienced. Last year for Heritage Hip-Hop we slowed down due to health changes, life changes, and mental challenges. This year we pledge to not only get back to what made our platform great, we are going to push to do more for the culture OUR WAY, and not follow other's patterns.

Look forward to the Blogs coming back, the interviews and podcasts returning, the shows continuing, and some surprises from us as well. We may not do as many playlists but we will return to what made us great in the first place and that is the LOVE of who we are as God's people and Hip-Hop as OUR culture, Declarations of greatness have been made before but we are going to show and prove that Hip-Hop is more than beats, and rhymes. It is dancing, fashion, art (digital and print), business, community, praise, worship, education, and more importantly it is our expression given by God to be who we are and to influence the world.

We are rededicating our focus to the culture and the people. This year Hip-Hop culture turns 50 years old. For 50 years the voiceless were given a platform and it changed the world. Sadly greats have passed away and have been taken from us so this year we have to represent for those that are gone. With greats like Takeoff, PnB Rock, and Tame One gone, to name a few, it is our duty to represent them and for them as we also talk about Biggie, Pac, Nipsey, ODB, Apache, Gov Mattic, Big Snuff and many more that have gone to become ancestors and spiritual beings of our culture. This year is important as we heal and celebrate our lives, and condemn those that use violence, sex, greed and evil to make a profit off of us and destroy the children being raised in our culture and communities.. Hip-Hop is not aging it is getting better and we are the reason. This year more podcasts will speak, more people will make music, more children will be born and more life will be lived as we celebrate our God, ourselves, and the future that we are paving the road to success for.

This year will be great and Heritage Hip-Hop will continue to celebrate Hip-Hop from NJ and around the World one interview, and one story at a time. Follow us on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere you listen to your podcasts. With new shows and people joining the movement we will always stand for integrity and welcome you into this 2023 year of our Lord with open arms and a business mind. May this year bring to you all forms of blessings and greatness. We have a world to take over and may we shape our lives into what we dream of through righteousness and love for each other as well. PEACE

The L.A.M.E. Way of Life Is To Live Through Music.

When a person seeks truth, they usually turn to a higher principality to help them find the answers to their questions. Some people turn to prayer, some meditate and others may write. When prayer, meditation and writing come together we produce thoughts, journals, and a road to peace that we travel to aid us in finding out who we are and how we can express our truth. LAM3 (Lame) does just that express his truth through his music and takes us on a journey of growth and introspection. A Journey that will leave the listener entranced by the story of the inner man's revelation to the outer beat and melody.

LAM3 rhymes with the intent to deliver a message not just rhyme to make words sound good. On September 12th 2022 at the Inner City Cafe in Orange LAM3 brought us into his life of introspection, growth, life and ultimately love as he not only serenaded his wife, but rapped his songs to the crowd to let them know he is not only an artist but a child of God in truth and beats.

His debut EP "Aigh't Let's Do It", will drop soon and by doing a listening session we get a glimpse into the soul of the man that says he lives a L.A.M.E. life. His life is based on his journey as a man and the beats he chose to rhyme on show he has a jazzy soul, with a mix of vibes and blues to flesh out his love of life in music. With his DJ and Collaborators in the venue with him Lam3 showed us not only is he capable of rhyme he can deliver a message. The most important message a man can ever give is the truth. When music and the soul meet in a place of purity, then the truth is seen, felt, heard and and shared at a level only the soul can recognize. Through his beat selection and wordplay Lam3 gives the world his truth with a compliment of soul and triumph to complete the plate to eat from when sitting with this artistic meal .

Look for more Lam3 and his music on Heritage Hip-Hop and support an artist that does not need gun bars and drug reference to make his point. By staying true to his Durham, North Carolina roots, he adds Jersey grit to make a sound that will be remembered and given to those that know and can relate. The truth so some is Lame, but truth by Lam3 is felt even if you chose not to believe. His steps prove his life and his lyrics show that the Lam3 way is the righteous way to go.

Billy Danze of M.O.P. Gears Up For 'Top 5' Multi-Track Single Release

Unsurpassed music career… #1 icon in millions of Top 5’s…a lyrical arsonist…a Hulk-sized monstrosity pushing verses to the masses…simply the best to ever do it then, now, and to come. Billy Danze (1/2 of the legendary Hip Hop group M.O.P) continues to keep audiences pacing like feigns, on the edge of their seats, nail-biting with every back-to-back multi-track single release. He’s given us ‘The 6 Pack,’ ‘The Baker’s Dozen,’ ‘The Listening Session,’ and ‘The Re-Listening Session.’ All leading up to the future release of ‘The Billy Danze’ project.

Not to provoke further anticipation, but Danze has plenty to get off his chest before unleashing ‘The Billy Danze’ project. Recently, Danze embarked on another full-throttle lab session to create a new multi-track single titled ‘Top 5.’ Understand these 5 tracks were originated with the thought and mindset of dropping earlier on, in a different space of Hip Hop.

‘Top 5’ includes “Best of Both Worlds,” “Buick Music,” “MOPs For Life,” “No Cap,” and “Purge.” Fans and audiences can catch snippets of ‘Top 5’ along with commentary from Billy Danze himself on YouTube and all Social Media platforms.

With only 5 songs Billy Danze embodies the cusp of Hip Hop and a time when Top 5’s were introduced. From hardcore anthems to in-your-face gritty tracks to catchy hooks and vibes to endless, potent Quotables. Hip Hop heads worldwide prepare for ‘Top 5’ by Billy Danze.
