UnLearn – Star Child
Word to NASA on this one.
Some new heat from UnLearn and the ironically named Sticky Ricardo on a track about not being fucked with.
UnLearn has the potential to move mountains with his music. Dropping heat for well over a decade, UnLearn has proven that he’s a voice that not only has a place in the game but is sorely needed. Check out his documentary to learn more about who UnLearn is.
Here’s the first installment of the monthly WeGoinIN.com Cypher series. The first lineup is a crazy one that features a diverse cast of MCs that rip the 730 beat to shreds in their own way. In order, the cast of characters is: K-Sise, Ax, 100GrandRoyce, D-Black, Nobi, St. Laz, UnLearn, Tribeca, and Cashmere. The April one is currently in the works, so look for that early April.
For any up-and-coming MCs with bars, an extended version will be released at the end of the month featuring the dopest verses sent to the beat through Twitter to @seven3zero.
At times, it feels as though the music, and on a larger scale, the culture, is stuck in a hazy sleep. So much injustice. So much negativity. And while none of this is new, UnLearn’s had enough of it, hence his latest project, The Wake-Up Call, a tour-de-force of an album rife with sharp lyricism, a critical eye on society, and deep personal introspection few artists are capable of. Far from a new jack, UnLearn’s been releasing music for well over a decade, starting off with bangers from producers like Jake One and only growing from there. With a slew of strong independent releases under his belt, UnLearn has earned every fan he has, yet as his music continues to spread, it’s clear there will be many more fans tuning in. UnLearn takes some time out of his day to chop it up with ProfileWild about The Wake-Up Call, his artistic process, his activism, how he succeeds as an independent artist, and much more, and of course ends with a dope acapella.
UnLearn’s music is a lot like those old school Pringles ads. Once you pop, you can’t stop. Hearing an UnLearn banger, which requires a soulful backdrop for his thoughtful razor-sharp lyrics, will leave you replaying his albums like a Super Bowl replay, all the while asking, “How the #$%& isn’t this guy blowing up?”
The Washington Heights product, who’s blazed mics from coast to coast, stops by HipHopGame to talk about his latest project, The Sleeping Giant, his upcoming album The Wake Up Call, his inspirations, and much more in this exclusive interview.
