Black Thought Rips The Mic On “State Prisoner”

In a year where we’ve witnessed plenty of bar-heavy rappers get their shine, it was only necessary that Black Thought left his mark on 2020. Over the past few months, The Roots frontman has dished out a few tracks in anticipation of the project including the posse cut, “Good Morning” ft. Pusha T, Killer Mike, and Swizz Beatz.

Streams Of Thoughts Vol. 3 is yet another testament to the strength of Black Thought’s pen. And if Thought wasn’t in your top 5, he better be after this. Ushering in after the mellow “I’m Not Crazy (First Contact)” intro is the monstrous, “State Prisoner.” Black Thought delivers high energy on this record, effortlessly delivering punchlines and metaphors at every angle with fluidity.

Check out the record off of Black Thought’s project below.

Quotable Lyrics
I’m chasing chicken like a Chupacabra, n***a
Salute your father, I’m headed back to Wakanda
After the drama, rappers get medivac’d to the trauma
To kill a lion separated from the pride
I rule Zion, I am the most hated one alive

A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
