TheSirDuke’s newest track, “Salute”, is an anthemic tribute to ‘boss ladies’ worldwide. Running at three minutes with a music video that has already amassed four thousand views, this Windy City banger is almost as powerful as the women it praises. At first, it is introduced by a pounding percussion; an omen to the musical magic that awaits you. Ten seconds in, a profound bass-line impacts the mix, and simultaneously our Chicago emcee leaps into his verse. For every bar he spits, celebrating independent, hard-working women, TheSirDuke is rewarded with the tap of a snare, kick, and sprinkle of melodic tines that flavor his chorus. The way “Salute” ultimately comes together, by these means, is nothing short of awesome. Just as our incredible ‘boss ladies’ worldwide have built themselves from the ground up, “Salute” musically builds, likewise. In three minutes, it transforms from this persistent pound of a percussion into a thunderous, modern-trap smash. One that, if TheSirDuke ever performs it, will have every powerful lady in the audience feeling beyond valued. If you haven’t already, give TheSirDuke’s latest a listen with its music video, and be on the look out for his upcoming project, “N-Evitable”, dropping any day now.


“Salute” on Spotify:




In this rendition of Childish Gambino’s sensational hit “This Is America”, Nicole Arbour takes the stage to share the perspective of women and the variety of social, economical, and psychological injustices women can experience in their lifetime. She further pushes the boundaries by invoking similar thought-provoking imagery and combines them with several incendiary stereotypes to serve as a general expectation from woman. Coupled with the fact that this type of song brazenly opens the dialogue of oppression shared by another social class falls directly into the heart and soul of hip-hop. A social commentary that exposes not only the weakness we have as a society, but also the weakness we have toward each other. The presentation of this message also underlines the most significant aspect of this song, which is the empowerment of women by being aware of it. For Nicole Arbour, it’s not just a matter of showcasing talent and creating content that resonates with it’s audience, but an instilled lasting impression that allows us to explore this complex theme. It’s the type of performance that can be taken to multiple levels and the raw energy of it is palpable.
