Born and Raised on American Hip-Hop, my musical standards are set at the level of lyrical legend Notorious B.I.G. and the poetic rap-storyteller, Tupac Shakur. First you need to know, I picked to write about this track because it Stood Out among a pile of copy-cats and mainstream junkies. I have NO clue what Polish Rapper O.S.T.R. is actually saying in his track “Po Drodze do Nieba” BUT I’m deliciously hypnotized for EVERY second it plays.

This song may have a few years under it’s belt having been released in 2009 with currently over 5 Million view on YouTube – but there’s a reason for the enormous response.

Hit play. Listen to the track.

Did you just groove your head to the beat? Did you even grunt a few bars in, then imagine something like counting money overlooking the balcony of an exotic location? Then you my friend have just experienced the essence of Hip-Hop and the essence of this lyrical mastermind. Storytelling is beyond just words, it’s an escape, an adventure and “Po Drodze do Neba” is the epitome of Rap-Storytelling.

With gritty production and raw artistic transitions the emotion of the song captivates the listener and tempts them to experience their own desires. To all of my American friends, I invite you to take a moment and enjoy some True Hip-Hop. I Dare You to let go of your “ideas” on what constitutes a Great Hip-Hop track – let the creative technique and magic of lyrical symphonies expand your music horizon.

                This song is proof that Europe Knows/Lives/Breathes/Creates Great Hip-Hop. Don’t miss out.
