The Neo-Righteous movement expands across the spectrum of fly guy rappers, gangsta rap, backpack MC’s, and spiritual / political speakers; Neo-Righteousness is the intense perception of music, art, dance, fashion, and literature through the lens of hip-hop. It is a new aesthetic movement: the art of Hip-Hop. Socially, we understand what is wrong with our streets so we strive through all our artistic endeavors to address these issues accordingly. The Neo-Righteous lifestyle is the lifestyle of the wise. the wise strive to live healthy lifestyles therefore, they eat healthy, think healthy, and make healthy decisions.
SHATIFF is the leader of the Neo-Righteous movement; highly regarded as a classic MC, his lyrics are thought provoking, insightful, creative, and no less than lethal. SHATIFF is the missing pieces of Hip-Hop, the one MC who stands to shed light upon the truth and annihilate the imposters, snitches, and wannabes, who exploit ignorance and call it Hip-Hop. His predecessors include such artists as Goodie Mob, Outkast, KRS-ONE, the Wu-Tang Clan, Jay-Z, Nas, Chuck D, and Black Thought.
Hip-Hop Chronicles 101 Workshop: A literary critique of contemporary work of urban non-fiction.
Hip-Hop in it’s present state lacks artistry, craftsmanship, and mastery of technique; all elements which form the foundation of both Hip-Hop and SHATIFF‘s artistic delivery. Therefore, the resurrection of Hip-Hop and the rise of SHATIFF will occur once these elements are given their proper place. It is imperative for the sake of Hip-Hop, that SHATIFF and the Neo-Righteous Movement begin to hold forums for healthy dialogue and in-depth artistic critiques of various songs and situations in Hip-Hop. During these workshops attendees will have the opportunity to analyze SHATIFF’s work, Hip Hop Chronicles and partake in a Neo-Righteous discussion of Hip Hop.
