My name is Monte, I’m an artist from Detroit currently based out of New York. A lyricist for the new generation with a powerful message to share, in my first single “I Declare” I boldly go after the system that has oppressed the minority (specifically black people) for so long and how it has brought us to the breaking point we are currently at. All this over a banging trap beat with a hook that still leave room for you to bob your head. Check it out here. https://soundcloud.com/monte56757/i-declare this song is available on all streaming platforms.

“Hold’, available now on all streaming platforms, was written about COVID-19 and the impact that it’s had on so many lives across the world. It was written about longing to touch those we love in a time when we can’t, finding ways to adjust to our ‘new normal’, and finding the silver linings amidst all the pain. As events have unfolded over the past couple of weeks with the George Floyd killing and resulting protests, the song has taken on a new meaning for us. More than anything, it’s about unity. “We will make it through this”.

The Revolution is Being Televised and The Band of the Hawk Provides the Soundtrack With “Slapboxin”

https://youtu.be/KTMiek-dxd8

In these tumultuous times, nothing is certain but The Band of the Hawk and their work ethic. Their new EP “Slapboxin” was recorded in a week where there were pandemics, police brutality, social injustice and rapid unemployment. To be clear this project acts as an escape for the artists and the listeners. The BOHUP Crew always speaks truth to power with a mix of witty abstract imagery.

The actual theme of the album is explained in the “Intro” with a classic interview with Muhammad Ali. In the spirit of boxing, the fighters have to practice, this is usually called sparring. In the streets, the people cannot spar because they do not possess the expensive safety gear to prevent injury. So they evolved to slap boxing, a more light way to throw hands with competitors minus the brutal impact. On this EP the 2 leaders of The Band of the Hawk, Yeaux Majesty and Noah Archangel, are slap boxing lyrically. These Hawks are spitting everything on their mind from black power talk on “Shabazz Bros” to basketball legend Kobe Bryant on “Mamba out” to trips in Greece on “Wominique Dilkins”. Hip Hop Fans, Revolutionaries and Protesters alike will enjoy this project.

According to Noah, this EP is a prelude to the full length album from The Band of the Hawk coming in July. Catch up before then and check out the other releases from The Band of the Hawk, Yeaux Majesty and Noah Archangel, available on their website and streaming on all platforms.
