The artist I chose for the Art and social conditions assignment is J.Cole at the moment I do not have a specific album or song that I will be researching and elaborating on. He is an artist that speaks about issues that happen through his music. It is very much relatable to people, and speaks ons social issues from his perspective and also puts himself in other people’s shoes. The way he raps and rhymes is very smooth in a way that it is not hard to decipher. The lyrics he says carry lots of weight meaning they are very influential and reflective and impactful. It can also be very storytelling-like which gives his music an easy going flow. He has many songs with different situations but they all are very eye opening and meaningful.
This artist’s work attempts to create a voice that exposes the truth about societal issues young people of color endure.
