HipHopDX Exclusive Premiere: “It’s a cold perspective: being with a woman who, like the famous work of art, bears great beauty but no smile. But we deal with it, for the temporary high it gives us, while we simply try to survive the dangerous world we may have manifested into existence ourselves… Life, the universal art, can be viewed subjectively like the beauty of any painting. Some people that you think have everything look at their life and see a plain-looking picture, while others with nothing are able to see the miracle of every moment.”

These are the words spoken by vocalist/producer Derek Pope and lyricist Sahtyre of Los Angeles, when asked about their new record “Mona Lisa.” The track is produced by Chase Moore and features fellow Top Floor Music Group artist Xavier. Thoughts?
