The Indiestry LOVES conscious hip hop that feeds the soul, and causes you to think about nonmaterial things.  Brooklyn-based emcee Kil Ripkin sent us over his new video for “Not You” (produced by Eric G.). 

Here are some of Indiestry Executive S. Ann Johnson’s favorite lines:

• “One day my soul just opened up. I overstood why the Black fam is broken up.”

• “Time ain’t speeding. They killing us faster.”

• The chorus: “They want you to forget who you are, but understand that’s not you! You not a hoe, bitch, pimp or a thug on the block. That’s gotta stop. That’s not you. It’s all part of the plan. Telling us we 3/5ths of a man. But overstand, that’s not you! You a god, goddess. They know, that’s why our life’s the hardest. But overstand, that’s not you!”

Finally, something positive for the kiddies—and us old heads too!
