The new Hip Hop/Rap song “Good Enough” by iKonic Tae is a breath of fresh air. The theme of the song is standing up for oneself in the face of societal pressures and expectations. No of what others may say or think, it inspires listeners to accept their individuality and go toward their goals.
The song is a reflection of iKonic Tae’s own experiences of feeling inadequate and not good enough in the music industry. However, he has overcome those challenges and has become a new breed of rapper/musician. His unique style of combining world genres of music with rap, such as “Afropunk Swagg,” is an evolution in the Hip Hop/Rap genre.
iKonic Tae cites Marques Houston, Missy Elliot, Ludacris, Beyonce, Fat Joe, and Jada Kiss as some of his most influential artists. This shows that he draws inspiration from a diverse range of musicians and is not limited to any particular style or sound. His willingness to experiment with different styles and sounds is what sets him apart from other artists in the genre.
Since hip hop/inception rap’s in the 1970s, a lot has changed. From its earliest days of block parties and MC clashes, the genre has grown to incorporate a range of sounds, styles, and sub-genres. One of the most well-known and significant musical subgenres in existence today is hip hop/rap.
The “Good Enough” song by iKonic Tae is proof of the genre’s development and the artistic potential of Hip Hop/Rap. It’s a song that encourages and equips listeners to be themselves and pursue their aspirations despite whatever obstacles they may encounter.
