A few months ago 5th Child contributed a voiceover for a commercial for the Mississippi Department of Transportation. The ad has been running on television and at the beginning of YouTube videos since its creation. Well, now the description "award-winning" can be added to the commercial's current accolades. The MDOT "Get Your Game On" commercial spot has won a total of three 2014 Davey Awards for outstanding advertisement. Huge s/o to Sam Watson, Philip Scarbrough, Tom Beck, and everyone at The Gibbes Company!

5th Child- Motherless Child

When anxiety overcomes/ I'm fightin' it over drums/
Mama cryin' tears of joy at the sight of what I've become/
Blacks gunning over fights/ Whites fighting over guns/
But I'd rather be righteous than right when it's said and done/
You cheatin' the reaper when you surviving through the slums/
Where they takin' all the cake and slide icing on the crumbs/
Then they hand you a plate/ You start stuffing your face/
Wonderin' why dem belly full but to the hunger you succumb/
I guess that's why I'm getting numb/ and I ain't feelin' they opinions/
When you recognize the real it starts revealing the chameleons/
Used to pray over meals and now we're praying over millions/
'Cause the appetite for that rapper life is so appealing/
The kingdom's full of soldiers/ No such thing as civilians/
So let us in the door or else we're bringing down the buildin'/
It's moments like this when I-I get a feelin'/
Even if I'm not a star... I'm a star that shines brilliant/

What I'm On Now: Toro y Moi's Anything In Return

Although I primarily make hip hop music, I find inspiration in all types of music. Lately, this has been the only thing I care to listen to. Apparently it's called "chillwave" but either way it's jamming. I first heard of Toro y Moi when I Shazam'd a song I heard in some department store or something. Then my homie DJ Young Venom had the vinyl copy of the album Anything in Return at his studio and after hearing a few more tracks I was completely sold. This album has been in HEAVY rotation everywhere I go. I've been playing it for everyone I know and they all dig it. You probably will too... Check it out... Toro y Moi- Anything in Return
