V Of 40M – Martin Luther

V Of 40M is a Philadelphian voice of the Black American Revolution. He is an artist that expresses and appreciates his culture through his music. V Of 40M is often found creating songs that follow the hip-hop style, and I am inclined to say the growing artist just keeps getting better!

Today we are looking at the stars hit “Martin Luther” which is based on the incredible and influential man, Martin Luther King Jr and his fight for equality for all races. The rapper ensures powerful lyrics to help motivate listeners and remind them of the importance of equality.

Not only are the lyrics amazing, the music and the vocalism are also fantastic! The beat is contagious and catchy, making the song even more enjoyable. Like most rap/hip-hop hits, the beat is quite repetitive, but in this case, it is super effective as we really get to focus on the vocals!

The rapping in this one is just amazing! His rap is so clear, and his voice is just one that you can actually enjoy.

For me, this is the perfect rap/hip-hop track, so if you find yourself to be a fan of that genre, then be sure to check out this captivating and influential track!

Nëk is a family orientated artist who grew up around music, which then led to his passion and career forming. He makes music with important and strong meanings, however he leaves them open enough for people to create their own interpretation of his words! Nëk quite commonly takes influence from major artists such as Kanye West and Eminem, and his music is often of hip-hop, jazz and blue style!
