Anything else?
"There is a lot going on right now, and hip-hop has always been a forum used to help branch and diversify and speak on so many topics, and perspectives. Our music is a vehicle of our struggles not only within ourselves, but also as a whole, and as a people. We aren't just here to be on a righteous path either, but we are trying to get right with everyone on how this music can be appreciated and viewed.The life and music we live by isn't balanced and we're trying to bring the kind of music that gives us that balance. Hip-hop isn't making classic type music any longer. What you hear a lot of is a formula copied and re-duplicated. Consumers don't have options in what they hear or feel in the music. The Tenth is here to provide those options, thoughts, and ideas. We are building people music. We are building on those around us, in front of us, ahead of us, next to us, behind us, and the ones who haven't even seen birth. Somehow they too will know what The Tenth is bringing."
