Today I’ve got two hip hop songs for you with messages.

Unit Live – “Hometown”

First up is Unit Live’s “Hometown.” This video is from a few months ago, but I wanted to share it because the song was recently remixed and dedicated to the people affected by the wildfires at Fort McMurray.

Warning: they swear a bit in this song.

Alpha Faktion – “Creative Control”

Here’s New York rap trio Alpha Faktion with “Creative Control.” This is the lead single off their upcoming album, Creative Control. The track is all about taking control of your art; in Alpha Faktion’s case, they’re specifically talking about taking control of hip hop.

Warning: they also swear in the song.
