With claims of bringing Hip-Hop back and resurrecting it
from the dead, Carolina’s own Black poetry writer, Eric D. Graham, aka Steel
Magnolia, shows why he has the potential to do just that with the recent release of
his latest two songs Breathe & Let It Go and Dope Boy Fresh from his up-and
coming debut mixtape/album Pocket Full of Ghetto Poems, which many consider to be a Hip-Hop classic already. Especially, with lyrics like these, banging in your headphones:
“Bow Ties and Brown Liquor
I rhyme sicker than a
96’ drug dealer
Rimmed out, Chains
out,
Guns showin’
My mail is open
My phone is tapped
I killed rap
I brought Hip-Hop
back
It’s the Return of
the Hip-Hop fiend
Tell them boys to ‘Kill
that Noise’
This is Hip-Hop on
Steroids
To all the
non-believer
I was baptized at
St.Peter
I gotta 9mm
It’s deeper
Than the Grim Reaper
Three can keep a secret
If two of them are
dead
Somebody is working
for the FEDS
Remember, what I said
From the song Dope
Boy Fresh
