Late? Yes. Dope music? Yes. Worth the wait? Probably.
This week features my personal favorite artist of all time, Stevie Wonder. Stevie is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. That's not my opinion, that's a documented fact! One of the things that I also admire about Stevie is how everyone thinks they can sing his songs, yet none of them come close. His voice is deceptive in the way he makes every song he sings sound easy. Honestly, I've never cried when an artist/celebrity has died, but I may just shed some tears when Stevie gets called home.
This song, "You've Got It Bad Girl" was sampled by Preach for his song "Believe".
Preach, a South Caroliina MC, is what I've found to be a rare breed in South Carolina, the South, or in rap period: a rapper that isn't talking about the trap, drugs, ho's, etc. While MC's that do talk about those things claim to be only telling what they see everyday, Preach does the same thing from the other side of the tracks. From "wasting time working in a shoping mall" to not being able to kick it with any female that disses Stevie Wonder, Preach comes across a humble dude that cares about his craft and pays close attention to every detail. Like Danny!, Preach gives me hope for Hip Hop in South Carolina.

As with all artists that I'll feature this month, I encourage you to check out more of their music other than the songs that have been sampled.
