Up And Coming Artist: Handles

Introduce yourself homie:


-How are you doing? I go by Handles, lyrical emcee from VA. Check out my page handles.bandcamp.com and follow me on twitter: @Handles757


Aight aight. So give us a lil something about you bro. What would your bio say about you? And why should we follow you as an artist?


-A dream does not remain a dream for long when you wake up every day with the motivation to achieve it. Aspiring rapper Handles brings new meanings to the word “hunger”; consistently displaying his drive to fulfill his appetite for artistic success.


-To the Virginia State University student body, he’s Kentral Savage while to music-craving ears, he’s the savaging beast known as Handles; flooding airwaves with a lyrically incising set of bars that you not only bob your head in unison to, but mentally commend him for his perpetual ambition. Similar to the soothing effect elevator music has on most individuals, Handles provides you with musical delights that can be played virtually anywhere; AKA: no curse words.


-While many rappers in their adolescent 20’s struggle to locate the adjectives in their minds to express the emotions of their verses, he seemingly effortlessly flows his thoughts through his mouth, censor-free. Proving to listeners both young and old how set apart he is from the social stigma of rappers today.


-Why I think I'm different? Well, I properly make the bed I choose to lay in, I study the art of music production, ultimately strengthening my natural talent. With a commitment to each and every aspect of learning, I continue to pursue my master’s degree with both an associate and bachelor’s degree already notched on my belt. Such motivation to my intellect shines throughout my lyrics, and inspires nearly everyone to master the craft they are blessed with.


Why did you choose rapping as a career option?


-I think music is in everyone. My belief is that it unites every soul with the sole purpose of keeping us all connected through music and forever bonded to the liberation of self-expression.


-I am a bold person with a bold message – say what you have to say and say it your way. Devotion is the motive, success is the goal, and expression is key. I believe the melodic art provided by Kentral “Handles” Savage is not to be heard but to be listened to.

Reviews 


“Savage's youthful vigor is matched only by his surprisingly mature musical ability.” - A&R Select


"I had previously heard some of his joints on YouTube and liked where dudes head was. So when the mixtape dropped I was like yes sirree! Let me tell you. I was not let down. Neck was hurting after it was over. I mean, it’s a head nodder most of the way through. And lyrically, he takes me back to a time when it wasn't just about money, it wasn't about fame, it was about respecting the culture and dropping jewels in your ear." - Ms.Anita, becauseilovehiphop.com


"One of hottest young niggas on the fucking planet, and thats right, I am co-signing this nigga!" - DJ Young Cee, Shadyville/G-Unit's DJ - G-Unit Records

Ink

If you understand art you will understand the reason behind tattoo number 23. I got this tattoo to look like my skin was removed to show my "robot arm". The meaning that I aimed to portray is that I am preprogrammed to win since day one or 62288.

Tell me what do you think about Iggy Azalea.

NEW STUDY “BLACK WOMEN ARE FAT & HAPPY”

While they tend to be heavier than white women, a new study by the Washington Post/Kaiser Family Foundation discovered they’re significantly happier with their bodies.
While only 41% of average-sized or thin white women report having high self-esteem, 66% of overweight or obese black women feel the same, the study found. Observers says that black females are particularly adept at shrugging off social expectations that don’t fit what they want for themselves. While 90% of black women surveyed said living a healthy lifestyle is important to them, that doesn’t mean being tiny. “That’s not what I grew up seeing. It’s not about trying to identify with somebody else,” said a medical technologist working out in a DC-area gym.
Historically, research shows that self-esteem for “black girls and women has always been the highest among all groups,” says Princeton Professor Imani Perry. “It’s a powerful statement about our resilience.” A 2008 study showed women subjects images of an “ideal” tall, thin, white woman’s physique. White women felt badly about themselves afterward, but black women weren’t affected.
Black women “are just not comparing themselves to these white models,” said the researcher. Identifying with thinner role models may change as more women like Beyonce and Rihanna fill mass media images, but ideas of beauty for black women will likely tend to remain “more elastic,” enforced by “positive” phrases for larger women like “full-figured” and “healthy,” say observers.
That doesn’t mean obesity is a good thing. “We’re not saying it’s super fly to be super fat. We’ve never said that,” says New York writer Michaela Angela Davis. But, she adds, unlike in white culture, “black women are not criminalized for it.”
So what do you think, are black women TRULY happy being overweight?

BIRTH CONTROL PILLS FOR GUYS IS READY FOR TESTS

The male contraceptive pill is ready for testing but will men take it? Will women believe men are taking it?
According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the male contraceptive pill may be only a decade away.
Researchers at the University of Kansas are so confident about their male contraceptive pill that they’re ready to seek FDA approval to test it on humans. So far their compound has proven safe in rats, rabbits, mice, and monkeys. “It’s 100% effective and 100% reversible,” says biologists.
The chemical compound H2-gamendazole, stops sperm from growing in the testicles.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? WILL YOU TAKE IT MEN? WILL YOU TRUST THEM “TO” TAKE IT WOMEN?

Illuminati

The Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name given to several groups, both historical and modern, and both real and fictitious. Historically, the name refers specifically to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776.

In modern times it is also used to refer to a purported conspiratorial organization which acts as a shadowy "power behind the throne", allegedly controlling world affairs through present day governments and corporations, usually as a modern incarnation or continuation of the Bavarian Illuminati. In this context, the Illuminati are believed to be the masterminds behind events that will lead to the establishment of a New World Order.

Honestly to me the whole "Illuminati" thing has become so ambiguous to the point that we have allowed the people who set out to try and destroy careers get to step 2 of their plan:...spread the word and put fear and doubt into the people's(being you) heart and mind.

Have you ever noticed that the people suspected of being in this "secret society", everyone know about, happens to be of the African American race? People such as Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kanye West, Kobe Bryant and Lebron James...Have you heard of any Caucasian, male or female, recently being a part of this society?






I bet alot of you did not know that the Illumanti has some memebers and I can assure you that the list does not include, to my understanding, an African American or minority for that matter. Don't believe me search the internet for yourself. Ill give you the list you can search the names and "meet the Illuminati" for yourself cause it wont be at an arena or concert.

It consist of 17 families and they are as followed:
1. Astor
2. Bundy
3. Collins
4. DuPont
5. Freeman
6. Kennedy
7. Li (Chinese)
8. Onassis
9. Rockefeller
10. Rothschild
11. Russell
12. Van Duyn
13. Merovingian (European Bloodlines)
14. Reynolds
15. Disney
16. Krupp
17. McDonald

At the end of the day everyone is entitled to their own opinion and interpretation and to each is own. I dont care but educate yourself before you banish someone. Especially successful people of your own race. Especially people who fear God and credit him for their success. Lets be real.
