“Working with Brother Kool Kim has been a dope experience as an artist, producer, bredren, and hip-hop head! His energy, work ethic, and process is inspiring and his movements are exemplary for independent artists. I'm excited to be working with the brother and I can't wait to share what we've been working on with the hip-hop world.” - Jah -I- Witness

Kool Kim has spent the last 2 years aggressively redefining what he has called “My Hiphop”. Via his social media outlets (specifically IG @koolkim_nyoil ) Kim has been promoting a campaign based around the evolution of HipHop for its originators. An interactive and shared experience that is artist led and patron powered. A movement that emphasizes the need for the HipHop community to remember the 4 tenets that Hiphop was formed on Peace Unity Love and Having Fun.

lyrics

The Uprise
Kool Kim (Koolinme Pub)
It’s just a simple pleasure it’s just matter of course I'm lost in this endeavor
It’s more than being a boss it’s beyond clever it’s just a mans pursuit to live
Forever and ever and ever
Skylight rhythms, skyline visions, from my perspective my position
Is determined by my disposition
I determined i was on a mission I’m determined to make the world listen
And speak it like religion
Minus the deep division minus the great inquisition it’s just a deep incision
It cut deep and promise it ain't everyday living
You shouldn’t sleep though or find yourself trapped in a prism
You’re lights refracted
Split into various colors you been impacted
These are the truths we discovered that been redacted
The facts is these faceless fascist is keeping us distracted
Sheep to slaughter is automatic and
Finding fault in me that ain't happening
Asked my mother she said i had to win
What’s a has been to a never was Never did just because
I’m coming back again

We Going up Going up right here
Going up rise yeah
We Going up Going up right here
Going up rise yeah
We Going up Going up right here
Going up rise yeah
We Going up Going up right here
Going up rise yeah

In the still of the night, I had the thrill of watching the killer get killed in a fight
I had my fill of delight
But god willing i ain't feelin’ alright
Cause the face that i had made was filled with bitter and spite
See this aint me, or the person I was claiming to be.
The reason and naming I’m named with it just can’t be
A season the pain that it came with I must get free
Man it’s freezing this game that I played with’s the coldest degree (forreal)
I resigned myself to redefine myself
realign myself and refine myself
I had to find myself so i could find my wealth
and realize all the lies rely on no one else.
No surprise these hateful eyes were a mask and guise a mere disguise
A childish compromise!
Cause Maya told me still I rise the caged bird sings until he dies and then
He finally flies.
