About this song: There is only one way to know a freestyle is real - have someone give them words to rhyme with during live record. My mother made a guest appearance on this track and threw the words on this unedited freestyle. About AXIS: Two different worlds, separated by one axis. On one side, Axis grew up in rural Kentucky, living in poverty and attending rough inner-city schools - the type of setting where you look at a kid and you know he has no option except failure. On the other side, Axis is a PhD Candidate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a leader in applying machine learning to educational technologies, and pushing the boundaries of music in Boston. The axis that separates these two worlds, is the axis that defines them. And it is through his music, that AXIS unites them. For decades rap has been saturated by great beats, strong hits, but weak content. Most artists creates songs in a single genre - love songs, gangsta rap, drug beats, etc. and within these genres the content is unoriginal; the techniques typical. The exceptions are what push the industry forward. We need more exceptions. What the world needs is an artist who creates songs across all genres (fear, love, anger, pain, inspiration). What the world needs is an artist who embraces the latest technologies, the latest machine learning algorithms, without hesitation. What the world needs is AXIS. History. What is it? Really... what actually makes something history? History is a turnover. A focus on what exactly caused the change from how things were to how things are now. A change is coming in music. Will you be a part of it? Make an impact. Support AXIS.
