AZ, from the hip-hop group The Firm, has released a thought provoking video for his song “Found My Niche.“

Based on how the visuals starts out, with several young black men holding and openly displaying guns, it would leave one to assume that AZ and those involved in the creation of the video, are in support of that lifestyle; but that is not the case. Prior to the start of the actual song, AZ takes time to recite a poem in which he voices concern about the disturbing mindset of America’s inner-city black youth.

To fully appreciate the depth of both the song and video we are encouraging everyone to simply watch the clip.

Towards the end of March, we learned that legendary hip-hop artist Scarface contracted the novel corona virus. He was apparently in really bad shape as he struggled to breathe.

Today, April 30th, we are happy to announce that the MC is doing much better. Although he is not completely clear, all indications are that he is winning the battle against the deadly disease.

A few days ago iconic hip-hop artist DMX, a man that’s never shy to voice his opinion, delivered an emotional speech about what time we’re in as it relates to COVID-19.

There is not much we can say about the content of the video, but if you are a fan / supporter of Dark Man X you should check it out. Though it was done live on his IG, it has since been uploaded to several YouTube channels. Click here to watch.
