SOHH Squad
[With hip-hop’s new elite of artists like Kendrick Lamar and Joey Bada$$ bringing self-awareness to the rap game, SOHH correspondent Kheron Blue highlights his “Lost Prophet” of the week. Today’s pick: King Los and Hopsin.]
King Los and Hopsin are defying the odds to keep things even.
You probably never would of guessed that these two would be working together. King Los and Hopsin are definitely “lost prophets.”
They restore the foundation of what hip-hop is supposed to be built on. Despite the fact they aren’t exactly the face of mainstream music, they stay true to their art and what they were put on this Earth to do.
King Los and Hopsin are both from opposite sides of the spectrum, and they have decided to collaborate and get to know one another as not just artists, but as people as well. They recognize their differences.
However, they respect one another and share their influence through the music they put out.” This young man has single handedly done things in this game to change the face of what young people should or shouldn’t have to do. That’s King Los praising Hopsin. Young rappers praising each other nowadays is rare. Nonetheless, it’s refreshing. They chose to be a voice not by force but by choice.
What is a Lost Prophet?
The “Lost Prophet” concept comes from the realization that we aren’t perfect and we don’t have all the answers. However it doesn’t mean that we can’t make an impact on this world based on the talents we were blessed with or the knowledge we obtain to spread the wisdom. Being “lost” means we were born into a world with limited answers but endless questions. So it’s up to us to find ourselves and what makes us important to adding to the positive energy of the universe. Some people find themselves through music. Others find themselves through sports.etc. We were all created different to fulfill our own unique purpose. That’s where the concept of a prophet comes in.
