Kaliq ‘Fights’ For Peace With Pharaoh Music

In this rachet-filled world where bedazzled, leopard shirt artists top the charts, conscious rappers like Kaliq offer a ray of hope.  The South Central raised, Arizona based artist grew up on the Afrocentric principles of his Nation of Islam father.  Kaliq poured his childhood lessons in the socially conscious mixtape, Pharoah Music.  While most rappers have one watered down “Fight The Power” song at best, Kaliq’s mixtape is CNN for the streets.  His latest video, “Fighting” reveals the irony of fighting in vain.  His compassionate lyrics brings to light the very real issues of EBT drama, prescription drug addition, and even terrorism.  Despite the bleak content, “Fighting” reaches a tone of hopeful defiance with booming percussion and triumphant strings.  Kaliq is a rare artist who can utilize the musical aesthetic of mainstream Hip Hop without sacrificing his message.   Website  Download Mixtape  Twitter
