Sapient The RAPstation Interview If you Google "Sapient, rapper," the first hit is the Portland, Oregon-based emcee's official website. Underneath the URL it reads, "The views of this website are cosigned by the gawds. If you're not feeling it, you can go behead thyself." Ladies and gentleman, meet Sapient, one of indie rap's most sarcastic emcees. The Sandpeople member and other half of Debaser (a duo also part of Sandpeople), Sapient (real name Marcus Williams) isn't your typical rapper. In fact, he's grown a lot over the past 10 years, especially since becoming a husband and a father. In an article he penned for the Huffington Post, he writes, "Immersing myself in hip-hop culture obviously meant partaking in that dominant, 'I'm better than you' bravado and the 'I don't gi

Wake Yourself New Mexico's Wake Self On the Rise New Mexico's hardest working emcee might just be turning into one of the world's hardest working emcees. Andy Martinez, better known as Wake Self, has been perfecting his craft over the past decade and his dedication is paying off. The Albuquerque-based artist fell in love with hip-hop at an early age, gravitating towards the sounds of classic hip-hop artists like A Tribe Called Quest and The Pharcyde, which eventually made him want to pick up a microphone. It's been on ever since. After a successful run with hip-hop band, Zoology, Wake Self went on a solo mission, beginning with 2013's The Healing Process. The album revealed the inner thoughts of a young man intent on positive change. That album took him to countless
Read moreRed Pill releases new album via Mello Music Group
The newest signee from Mello Music Group, Red Pill's debut full length album is finally here. The Detroit native has been described as "unflinchingly grim" and "hilariously self-deprecating." The new album, Look What This World Did To Us, is an introspective journey, revealing intimate details through unabashed honesty and satirical absurdity. Self-analysis and loathing may come through initially, but what truly impresses about Red Pill is the talent and control of a veteran rhymer. Having found success in his group Ugly Heroes with Apollo Brown and Verbal Kent, Red Pill's new album is a project that strives to establish his individuality as an artist. Red Pill's style garners comparisons that run the gamut in both style and medium, from Atmosphere to Charles Bukowski. P

Gimpin' Wheelchair Sports Camp Rolls Out New Track By Kyle Eustice In light of the recent murder of Walter Scott at the hands of a white South Carolina police officer, it's safe to say (again), we live in a sick society. People judge, berate, condemn and consistently hurt other people, but don't judge a book by its cover - especially when meeting Kalyn Heffernan of Wheelchair Sports Camp. She may be small and confined to a wheelchair, but her personality is larger than life. Born with osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle born disease), she's suffered over 100 fractures since she was 9 months old, but nothing has kept her down for long. As the mastermind behind Wheelchair Sports Camp, the Denver-based rapper is on the verge of releasing her first full-length album, produced by th
