Most 30 songs leave us speechless regardless, but this latest one is in a league of its own. ‘Pop Song’ is a look into this artist’s perspective on systemic racism happening, and it’s an amazing thing to see.

We had to run it back 4-5 times before even writing this blog. Every single line in the song is meaningful, intentional, and conscious. 30 speaks about his position as a white artist profiting in the music industry, and how it’s his duty to therefore speak out and use his platform for good. Bar after bar, he doesn’t shy away from speaking the hard truths. From admitting ignorance when he was younger, to calling out Trump supporters, to motivating white people to step up and fix the problem they created, this is exactly the song we need right now.

Major props to 30 for this record. Please go give this a listen today if you haven’t!

Lyrics That Stick:

“I’m in an industry that takes black artists

Chew em up, spit em out

Like a muhf*ckin’ bad lunch”
