Wielding pain, depth, and darkness, Michigan rapper, SupremeNu, presents “Man Down”. The song is three minutes and sixteen seconds of lyrical and instrumental surgery on an open wound; centered around the loss of a close friend to gun violence. Carried by a heart-wrenching, blues guitar, trumpets, trap drums, and passionate, Outkast-esque flow, SupremeNu relives the entire fiasco. He details in his first verse witnessing the death personally, and how indomitable the river of tears have been hence then. Yet, as traumatic as this event was for the Jackson-repping, Florida-based artist, he uses it as incredible fuel on the mic. The pair of passion and pain weld into his voice is unignorable. It bleeds heavier and heavier through your speakers as the song progresses; and by the end, you are engulfed in his grief. That solidifies this track’s place as one of the underground, Hip-Hop highlights of this year. Not only is it an outstanding tribute to his resting friend; but it, likewise, commands an empathy that one could never evade.

It's much deeper than music, this is a movement. Elo. doesn't need the backing of industry honchos to get his message out and be heard. Giving you a view of Pittsburgh different from Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller, Elo. drops his new single "Troublewaters" featuring BlaccBrigade. The song has a mellow classic hip hop feel with harmonious vocals on the hook reminiscent of the late Nate Dogg. The track features an intro and outro by Minister Louis Farrakhan. In between, Elo. spits wisdom as he addresses racial and social injustices taking place in the world today. 



 He recently shared his story with USA Blog Network with an in-depth interview about the new song. Elo. and brothasgottaeat2020.com family have something to say and something tells me this is the beginning of something much deeper than music.  Join the movement and download "Troublewaters" today on Spotify.
