By now, I'm sure your News Feed has been flooded with images of little kids' lifeless bodies lying on the shores, just as mine has. Some people may be a little confused as to where those images come from and why they are making their rounds on social media. While I don't condone posting those images on such platforms due to the sensitivity of the subject, I do recognize the majority of the general public have no sense of boundaries when it comes to social media. Although, I believe indiscreetly posting such images without giving any context or having sensitivity for the subjects of said images is in poor taste, unfortunately sometimes it takes images like that to wake people up about what's going on in the world.

Chi-town veteran rapper, Common is set to take stage in Dallas on September 11th as apart of The Aijle L Turner Foundation Footprints of a Dream Benefit, along with Grammy Award Winning Robert Glasper and Dallas' own RC and The Gritz Band.
New Orleans rapper, Dee-1, has long been compared to his fellow N.O. counterpart, Lil Wayne. For years it's been said that Dee-1 sounds like a conscious version of Weezy. Those comparisons to their styles may be valid, but this flip on one of a Lil Wayne classic "Tha Block Is Hot" proves just how little the two have in common.
Since the days of the Geto Boys, Scarface has been one of the most respected rappers in the game. He's never been one to bite his tongue on issues effecting the black community or rap music. He's been the same Brad Jordan for as long as we can remember so there's no need for him to change that now...and apparently Scarface has no plans to.
For years now, Styles P and Jadakiss have been one of rap music's best one-two combination. So it only seems right the duo take that teamwork outside of the studio into the streets. For the last couple of years, Yonkers own Styles P has been promoting the juice bars they've opened up in New York. Well, now those juice bars are getting national exposure, as Styles and Jada attempt to help give lower income neighborhoods healthier options.
Of all the artists we've featured on The Urban Advocate over the years, Colby Savage is one of the brightest stars. Colby Savage is an East Texas rep who has held it down on the Dallas scene for years now. Since we first featured him on the the site with his video "Storytellincompellin", he has released an impressive catalog of music and garnered a lot of respect in the game as one of the realest emcees in Dallas. How? By releasing music like "The Pain".
