When it comes to the state of Hip-Hop, Sermon feels the conversation is boring now a days , but has faith in artists like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and Joey Bada$$ who could potentially turn things around for Hip Hop culture and may be able to stir it up for the fans benefit. Although he does add that he enjoys the diversity in Hip Hop nowadays being that you no longer have to be on the same wave as everyone else to get some shine! A lot of Sub Genre that appeal to wider audiences and make hip hop stronger because it only makes the culture bigger !

I clearly understand the boringness. Many artists have great beats with the same message someone else just rapped about; ( ass, drugs, cars etc). I believe Sermon’s collaborations with those A-List features will bring a new sound for 2015! I guess we will see.
