You can listen to my whole reaction on snapchat if that's what you feel like doing. I don't really care. I just want people to care about our women for once. #newpost #RIP #People #loveourwomen #thelykeaesthetic June 23, 2016 at 06:01PM via Instagram  We were driving back home after an amazing weekend in Madison Wisconsin--Quinn had a performance there with our friends BadWolff. Like most couples on roadtrips, we spent our time listening to a streaming service and talking about our relationship--in particular, when we wanted to get married.
In the Black community, fatherhood is a taboo subject. Even though the “absent Black father myth” was recently debunked by the CDC, the notion is still present, especially in the rap community. In Chicago, I constantly hear people judging rappers for their aesthetics, simply because they have children

In addition to #FathersDay, Sunday is also #Juneteenth, the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. I’m not going to lie, Since festivities are usually on the third Saturday and Sunday of June, I’ve decided to create a Funpack for the weekend. Per usual, here are some Juneteenth inspired events in Greater Chicagoland as well as some new music to keep you moving and grooving into next week. I won’t be here to celebrate with y’all since I’ll be in Wisconsin supporting @DRXQUINNX. Still I encourage you to go out there and edify yourselves with all the celebrations, parades, and markets over the weekend.

The main inspiration was from my mother. I wrote the song "Legacy" while she was terminally ill in the hospital, right by her bedside. I planned on releasing an album one day that I wanted to be more personal. After she passed away, it felt like the world was ending but I was able to get through it. Music was a big reason for my resilience. I figured that if it helped me, then possibly I could help others with my message. That's when I thought of the name "Keren's Legacy". I knew that things were far from over. It became more important for me to carry on and do my best in life. This album is more personal. It's not me trying to make my self look like the most perfect person. I just wanted to really speak to people. If at least one person can feel inspired after hearing this album, then it's served it's purpose.” PLAY KAREN’S LEGACY NOW: fanetic.bandcamp.com #NewPost #TheLykeAesthetic #Music #Art #People #NewMusic #KarensLegacy #Fanetic #ChicagoRap #ParkForest #Inspiration #Community #BlackEconomics #BuyNow #Bandcamp June 15, 2016 at 10:24AM via Instagram http://ift.tt/1VZm3VI What’s up network!
