By: SeandrasimsCategory: Features

South Central Los Angeles native Propaganda may have caught your ear on KRS-One’s 2006 release, Life. Prop also toured with The Blastmaster and has performed in L.A. over the past decade as an MC and spoken word artist. More recently you may have heard Propaganda on the song “Misconception” from Lecrae’s Church Clothes mixtape, or the remix of the same song by DJ Official on Lecrae’s #1 album Gravity, which released this Tuesday. In support of his upcoming, third album, entitled EXCELLENT, Propaganda releases the first single called “I Ain’t Got An Answer”, and featuring Sho Baraka. The song specifically addresses parents and the various difficult and overwhelming situations they might find themselves in. “I Ain’t Got An Answer” – Propaganda feat. Sho Baraka 09_I_Ain_t_Got_An_Answer Prop’s overall message? Although the narrow focus is parenting, the broader focus contained within the stories touches on all of human life. Sometimes it isn’t that people don’t understand why certain things happen, or even how they happen – but in the midst of heartbreak, confusion, and unmet expectations we have the hope that God is in control. Propaganda’s album, EXCELLENT, is available on iTunes for pre-order now and releases September 25 on Humble Beast Records. Follow Propaganda on Twitter (@prophiphop).
