I am SoSik, an Artist based out of Seattle Washington. I believe in the illuminati and tend to believe that a higher power is helping me throughout my journey in this thing we call life. I am pursuing to be a hybrid artist, fusing the sounds of old rap styles such as Notorious B.I.G and Tupac with the "wavy" style of new artists like Future and Kanye. All of the messages that I convey in my music are related to gaining confidence and having no fear to strive for big goals. I believe that music can have a heavy influence on a persons life, and I want the people who listen to my music to be inspired to follow their dreams with positive motivation, no matter how big or crazy they may seem. I have been fighting depression my entire life and music has become my number one outlet, after trying to commit suicide, I turned towards the music. It has saved me. It started with me just listening to music, but then I began writing lyrics. I found myself wanting to create my own sound, so I began taking music classes at the University of Oregon and now I know how to produce all of my own songs and beats. I hope one day to be able to play live concerts for my fans all over the world. I want my shows to become a place where people come to dance, let go, and be happy.

I recently came across an artist from the eastcoast who now lives out west in LA named Dray Houston. Although he doesn't have much material released, the content he has put out is definitely worth a listen. His most recent release with producer PdubTheProducer My Plug N' My Plays, is definitely making noise on the internet and throughout the music industry. The track was first premiered on HipHipsince1987, and eventually found its way to The Source, ItzBizKit and Unsigned Heat. The song is based on a story defining survival and prosperity for a young local hustler with big dreams of making it out, and eventually making those plans and hopes come to fruition. Make sure to stay on the look out for Dray Houston and any up and coming future releases by the new artist.

Nicki Minaj opened up about her abortion in recent interview, saying she thought she "was going to die". "I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I'd ever gone through," she continued. Minaj became pregnant when dating upcoming rapper Banknote Mitch, an older guy from Charlotte, N.C., while visiting family. The decision to abort has "haunted me all my life," but she stands behind her decision: "It'd be contradictory if I said I wasn't pro-choice. I wasn't ready, "I didn't have anything to offer a child." Minaj alludes to the abortion in The Pink Print single "All Things Go," rapping, "My child with Aaron (@Banknotemitch) would have been 16, any minute."Minaj touched on the abortion early in her career, on "Autobiography." But she "didn't expect anyone to hear."
In the third verse of "Autobiography," she alludes to people telling her she wasn't ready to have a baby, and asks for her unborn child's forgiveness: "Please, baby, forgive me, mommy was young/ Mommy was too busy, trying' to have fun/ Now I don't pat myself on the back, for sending you back/ 'Cause God knows, I was better than that... Listened to people who told me I wasn't ready for you/ But how the f--- would they know what I was ready to do?" Nicki broke everything down step by step in a two hour interview, so we had to summarize for this article. Nicki went on to say my abortion happened 16 years ago. I was dating a guy that I loved very much. We were in an on again, off again relationship for years. When I would take trips to see my family in Charlotte, North Carolina, we would start our relationship right where we left off. His government name is not Aaron, which everyone knows by now, his name is Mitchell. I only said Aaron in the song because I was still bitter. My career was taking off and I didn't want to help his, just before my abortion we had a fight and broke up. A couple weeks later I found out that I was pregnant, when I told him, he said that he wanted me to have an abortion because he didn't think I would be a good mother. Also, he said I was a big baby and challenged me to finally be a woman.
I really never thought he would want me to go through with it. I found out that he was dealing drugs and I wanted him out of my life, so I chose to follow through with his plan. The night before my abortion, I couldn't sleep. I was lying alone in bed with racing thoughts, and I knew what I was about to do was very wrong. When I woke up that morning, I went to the abortion clinic, I noticed the picketers and I wanted to make sure none of them knew me. I drove around the block. None of them looked familiar, so I pulled into the parking lot and went in. The picketers yelled stuff to me, but I felt they didn't know my situation so they didn't deserve my time. Once inside, I gave the receptionist a fake name. I felt numb. I filled out paper work, talked to a counselor, talked to a nurse, and tried not to think about what I was doing.
A nurse escorted me into the abortion room. She helped me get ready for the procedure and just asked me vague questions about the weather and if I was going to school. The abortionist came into the room and began my abortion. The nurse was leaning over me and starring into my eyes. After a little while, she asked the doctor "Is something wrong?" He said, "It is trying to get away – I've tried three times!" I was shocked!! What he said hit me like a ton of bricks. It is trying to get away! I started to pray and ask God to stop all this from happening – to not let it work – to let it fail - to put His hand in the way of the vacuum. I couldn't believe what I was doing!! Seconds later, the abortionist said, "It's done". He put away his tools and left the room. I was going to die and a part of me did in that room.

Toronto artists Charles Dropout and EK On The Track release a debut EP titled Thanks For Dropping By. Pretty much speaks for itself. Have a listen:
Banknote Mitch or as he refers to himself the illegitimate child of Tupac Shakur, is ending the year in a blaze of fire. Mitch himself says he can relate in a lot of ways to Tupac's song "Brenda's got a Baby" original released in 1991. Hearing the song again in 2016 and seeing all the pain around him, he says it struck a nerve so he released his pain on the same microphone Shakur once released his on.
It was more then a journey, Mitch says to the camera thoughts racing, writing at an incredible speed. This is me speaking for all of Brenda's babies, and for those who understand what I'm saying, there are a lot of us. I am only the voice of a lost generation, left to be raised by single Mothers and Grandparents. Tupac said it himself, he may not be the one who changes the world, but he guaranteed us that he would spark the brain that would.
That brain is located inside Banknote Mitch's head, if you ask anybody who's heard even a snippet of Mitch's music. This is not another rapper from Charlotte, NC, who will never see the light of day. This artist has a purpose, a goal, and a drive that has been pushing him since his first breath. Not only will he take you along as he travels a world unknown, but he will make you feel every intense emotion that he puts into every word. Its clear Banknote Mitch is here to stay, download his new Ep "Brenda's Baby" October 20th (datpiff Exclusive)
