In a move that sent shock waves throughout the Hip Hop Industry last week, four masked women, calling themselves Heresy announced their intentions to bring back hardcore lyricism to the genre, through a sonically pleasing delight called Move that Flow.
The 3:56 second song from the quartet has more lyrical content in the first 30 seconds than nearly 80% of mainstream Hip Hop's top hits right now. Heresy manages to simultaneously change the paradigm of what's expected out of a female Hip Hop artist and return to the rugged grimy hardcore lyricism prevalent throughout the Golden Age of Hip Hop.
Forsaking fancy R&B like choruses and not relying on oversexualized gyrations to cover up average to sub-par lyrics, this super group of femme fatales relies on the art of rhyming and verbally assaulting the beat.
And just who are the members? While I know one of the members personally, and am aware of some of the others, I'm not going to go into any detail about just who is in the group, until they officially make the full reveal. I can say that these are women who know how to handle their business and have a true appreciation for the Hip Hop culture. I think people are going to be surprised and blown away once Heresy reveals itself.
Hip Hop needs balance - a little less pop and a lot more substance- and this super group of female emcees has just the power to do it. It's Heresy I tell you. Heresy!
