Xoul City, the dynamic Hip-Hop collective from North Carolina, shares their brand new politically driven single, “Superb Heroes V.2.” This latest release serves as a testament to the enduring power of Hip-Hop as a means for social commentary and reflection. With their signature blend of hard hitting lyricism and soulful beats, the latest from Xoul City is a thought provoking track that pays tribute to the courage and resilience of civil rights leaders of the past.
Throughout the song, crew members Noble Vessel, Preppy Beats, and SaeLah praise their revolutionary idols, likening these defenders of justice to the larger than life heroes from comic books pages. The lyrics “I think we need a champion / a revolutionary yo, where Fred Hampton. Yeah Bro they killed him, so I guess we can’t ask him / This is no Wakanda but we need the Black Panther” draws parallels between the fictional utopia of Wakanda and the real-world fight for Black empowerment symbolized by the Black Panther movement. This stanza is just one of the many examples of creative double entendres and word play present throughout the track.
In staying true to Hip-Hop’s foundational principles, Xoul City demonstrates that the genre remains a potent tool for social empowerment and collective consciousness. As they navigate the complexities of contemporary issues, they echo the sentiments of hip hop pioneers who used their art to amplify marginalized voices and challenge systemic injustices.
