Rich The Factor & Kansas City Mayor Q Hip-Hop Collab Coming Soon?!?

Maybe . . .

For those who don't know and in order to start off our #TBT correctly . . . 

Rich The Factor is a Kansas City hip-hop legend with very real street cred and a cult following that spans over three decades. 

Our often overly critical readers who don't like rap music anyhoo might not understand that amongst local hip-hop purists, Rich The Factor commands a great deal of attention because of this authentic voice, incredible swagger and musical virtuosity that mixes beats on a level that commands notice from urban music lovers across the nation. 

We were also waiting for the latest from this local juggernaut BUT we nearly missed a political tie-in that's worth mentioning for the blog . . .

Rich The Factor gives Mayor Q a mention and the nod was reciprocated by the politico who returned the social media love . . . Take a look for those who haven't seen it already . . . Here's what Mayor Q had to say: 

"Loving the new Snow Money album from Rich the Factor, one of Kansas City’s top performers. Appreciate the shout out to the mayor life too."

Read that thread closely and notice Mayor Q offering a rap music collab.

Typically this is where our readers share their hateration, pretend to understand rap music and denounce one thing or the other . . . TKC advice is to stop being boring for just a second and understand CONTEXT in Kansas City and enjoy, if only briefly, a Mayor that can still attempt to connect with urban communities much more effectively than most elected officials.

More importantly . . . We really like the intro for this track and the backbeat & hook are probably something that we'll hear years later when mainstream artists start "borrowing" the melody.
