  • Song Breakdown #18: "Kemba Walker" by Desmond Powell

    Song Breakdown #18: "Kemba Walker" by Desmond Powell
    2024/10/04
    Today, Desmond follows up the previous episode breaking down his other single that dropped with "1 on 1:" "Kemba Walker." Rapping over "Heaven's EP" by J. Cole, Desmond takes listeners through the parallels of hitting a clutch shot at the buzzer and trying to stack up the wins of life. In this vulnerable song breakdown, he explores the pros & cons of isolation while motivating listeners to pull a Kemba Walker by overcoming their pit(t) to get to their platform.

    Song Breakdown #17: "1 on 1" by Desmond Powell
    2024/09/27
    In this special episode of Hip 2 Da Games, Desmond breaks down his first ever solo song "1 on 1," his spin on the Rapsody, Niko Brim, & Lil Wayne track "Raw." He discusses how the song presents three different opponents in the proverbial 1 on 1 matchup and how themes of perseverance, faith, and growth can inspire listeners to keep playing the game---on and off the court.
