JOHN QUE DROPS THE JAM-PACKED "BLACK MONEY" PROJECT
Like
a beacon for black excellence and empowerment, John Que drops the jam-packed
“BLACK MONEY” project. Running 15 tracks long, sandwiched between two,
thought-inspiring skits from comedian, Michael Che, “BLACK MONEY” is truly a
concept album at heart.
It pulls a plethora of talented, African-American
artists into orbit, by way of its star-striking features (Mr Hussell Hard, LG,
Nikieta and Honey Brown); maintains its divinity with a reference to “black” in
each and every song title (“Black Out”, “Black Jesus”. “Black Lives Matter”,
“Black To The Future”); and accelerates through a range of African American
musicality, from Soul and Gospel, to the grimiest Boom-Bap. And not a single
element of that trinity is disappointed by John Que’s performance.
Coasting a
theme of impactful basslines, which pulsate throughout the entirety of “BLACK
MONEY”, John Que is never in a shortage of conscious commentary and
mind-blowing bars. No wonder why this Mobile, Atlanta emcee is coined the
“Freestyle King” of the underground.
He is relentless with his deliverance of
rhymes; opting on each song to either highlight the state of blacks in America,
or uplift his brothers and sisters with matchless, lyrical empowerment. Such
makes John Que a poignant force on the microphone, and “BLACK MONEY” an already
timeless, Hip-Hop artifact of the decade. For those of us who still value Black
History Month, and eagerly awaited its arrival, this is the quintessential
soundtrack for our celebration; and John Que is the quintessential artist to
crown.
