Hiphop has become a curse for many of our young these days, more often you find youngsters quitting school ju to try and make it as rappers. It is very rare that one finds a rapper who is a professional in another field in this time age. Yes hiphop is alive and it has never been this alive in Lesotho before, there's not a day that goes by without one seeing a facebook post about either a new song dropping or a certain rapper being "Lesotho's Dopest rapper". As a lover and student of hiphop however; one has to take each and every of these posts and try to understand the reasoning, because truly so much talent has been neglected over the years and this could be a better way of discovering such talent.
Of many of these rappers however there are O'Gs that have been here for a minute, one of this is a Maseru born Gauteng based rapper Chocolate Soul, 30. A few days ago he made a post about him dropping music. And knowing how hard this Yellow beard rapper can go there was no letting this one pass by. Produced By Taks, recorded at Codeine Cool Studios and mastered by MIP, Green is the name of Chocolate Soul's new single.
A trap song in it's own right, soaked in nothing but bars and wells arranged rhyme. Where i'm from Green can mean three things, either weed, money or the colour Green, in this song you find Choco making reference to all three. "Bottle green sipping on Heineken/rolling green getting high again" in this lines he speaks of green as a colour and as weed selectively, then as you listen to the song he comes back to say "i got green fingers I make grow" and you're certain he is talking about money here.
Listening carefully to the lyrics one feels reminded that we have specially gifted rappers in Lesotho and we could be against the best of any country and leave em with deep scars. It is very important mention that in 2013-2014 was in his local television prime, there was not a day when his videos didn't play on our national television. Beautiful music videos for that matter, but then snap, everybody forgot about Chocolate Soul, one can only expect bigger things from this mid aged rapper when he says " I rose and fell like a Sea tide, now i'm back to claim what should be mine". With this being said it is quite evident that the video to this beautiful trappial will be nothing but great.
Props to Taks Beats also, the producer, There's one sweet melody that runs deep in the beat at the chorus, sounds like string to me. Good lord, it makes me one keep throng playing on the chorus part. And then the well mastered 808's and snares, what does one say about a beat like this? Dope.
Green will be available soon. Be sure to check our facebook page HipHop in Lesotho and get the link once it's been given to us.
