Sion Vesill Drops “MC’s Act Like They Don’t Know”

Published

on

Taking inspiration from the golden age of hip hop is nothing new to Liverpool legend Sion Vesill. From the moment he ventured into the world of breaks and beats, taking cues from the likes of 2-Pac, his music has had a strong root in the truths that are embodied by truly infectious beats. 

It is fitting then that his latest release pays homage to one of the most creative voices of the hip hop scene. KRS’ 1995 single ‘MC’s act like you don’t know’, was the lead track on the ground-breaking album Sophomore and explores the challenges of live performance vs recording studio. It’s an ever common issue and one that artists like Vesill are keen to explore. As an artist who displays exemplary talent both on and off stage, Vesill is keen to explore the legacy of talent left by artists like KRS, and this latest release does just that. As Vesill himself states:

“I’ve always admired the pioneers of hip hop and try to learn as much as I can from them, especially the likes of KRS ONE, Kool G rap, Rakim. I feel like our new generation is neglecting the history of the art form and not saluting the fathers of hip hop. I am a student. I will always be a student of rap/hip hop, we can never stop learning. 

“The moment you think you are too good or know it all is the moment you will cease to grow as an artist. I’m inspired by the past and the present so I can deliver something unique in the future, something true to myself. I am honoured to be able to even rap and I will always pay respect to those who did it before me. 

“Emcees act like they don’t know” is one of the coldest beats in hip hop history so I had to reach into a bag that can only be found when the inspiration of artists like KRS one shows you how it should be done! It lights a fire in you that you have to do good, you can’t ruin these beats, they are a piece of hip hop and I will never forget that.”

Memphis Recording Artist Flex Jaxn Shares Shares Chilling New Visual For “Drugs To Numb”

Published

By

Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Flex Jaxn is an emerging musical talent with a compelling backstory. Raised by a single mother and facing significant childhood trauma, including molestation by family member, he turned to alcohol and drugs at the young age of nine. Diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar Disorder, he struggled with these challenges throughout his youth. The gift of a toy piano at age 13 proved to be a pivotal moment, offering him an outlet and a means of escape from his pain.
Music became increasingly important to Flex, especially as he grappled with the triggers of his past, which led to multiple arrests and two overdoses. Realizing the crucial role music played in his well-being, he dedicated himself to it, eventually living in a recording studio. Through creating and composing, he journeys into self awareness turning his shortcomings into therapeutic art aimed at helping others facing similar struggles.

In 2024, Flex established D.I.R.E. (Drugs Imitate Real Emotions), a program inspired by his childhood participation in D.A.R.E., to support those battling substance abuse. That same year marked a turning point in his music career when he participated in The Roll Out Experience, leading to his signing by Shawn Barron and a deal with United Masters. He is currently working on his debut album, “10 for 10,” a deeply personal project where each song tells a story from his life, framed through the lens of celebrity drug overdoses. His released singles include “I Cry,”  loose re-enactment of   Juice WRLD’s death, and “Drugs are Numb,” depicting Rich Homie Quan’s overdose. 

His next release, “Heart On Your Sleeve,” will explore the pressures faced by women in entertainment and social media. With his music already featured in several editorial playlists, Flex Jaxn is on a promising path to becoming a significant voice in his generation, offering solace and healing through his art.
