Hip Hop & Escapism, How freestyling and writing lyrics can free the mind in the concrete jungle.
My first idea of the audio document was based on my personal experience with rap music. It’s also something I’m passionate about and interested in sharing. Improvisation in general is an intriguing concept. I want to find out a bit more about freestyling and the way the brain works. The idea of the audio document is to start with a short background on hip hop. Where it originated from and the main people that engage with the culture and their living conditions. Speaking socially and politically. Then to move on to the idea of escapism within using music and rapping more specifically. I have mentors that are talented freestyles that have done lectures on this subject before and I can possibly get an interview and quote them. It’s also a scene I’m part of and feel I can give it justice and have the right reasons to discuss it.
