It’s a rare thing nowadays to come across a song or piece of music that implies a positive message, much less a new piece of music. That is all the more why it is an absolute pleasure to give this Jammerzine exclusive premiere of such fine talent in the form of Canadian hip hop artist Jamel Thomas. Jamel has a finely crafted sense of self and originality that shines through on his new track and video titled ‘It Starts At Home’.
Jamel gives a somewhat autobiographical stance within the music and shows that hip hop is best used as a social time stamp and origin story used as inspiration for others yearning to be in the game.
“This is that haircut at 4 years old from my brother while he’s playing tapes in the 90’s. “It Starts At Home” is about my connection to Hip-Hop. The video features my real family and peoples. It’s who I am, my relationship to this music and how I was raised with it since birth through my brothers and cousins. It’s also meant to spark people to go for their own dreams, this is how it all started for me.”
