When you're trying to change your life and aim for something better, sometimes you need a little motivation to get there. One of the most inspirational things can be music, especially if you find the right song. Maybe that song can be from Florida based Hip-Hop group Bulletproof Soul and their new single, "The Ascension", which features DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ & Nyyjerya.

This song doesn't waste any time, opening with a danceable electronica beat as well as an introductory lyrics that are ladened with braggadocio, sex, and auto-tune. Bulletproof Soul knows what they want and knows that they can get it, and they will always keep trying their best no matter what.

Moreover, the song's confidence is especially palpable at the song's chorus, which also boasts of a love of the West Coast as much as the desire to make it to the top. It's a fun, good way to sum up the song's overall message.

The Fort Lauderdale and Miami-based musical group Bulletproof Soul drops their anticipated album Grasping Things at the Root on July 28. Ahead of the album release comes a genre-blending single, “The Whip,” out now. “The Whip” sheds light on the masterful sound curation of the group, shifting through neo-soul rhythms, hip-hop-heavy lyrics, and brushstrokes of art pop.

This 12-track project meditates on the importance of cultural unity through stories of dialectical materialism and social conditioning. And although the album’s title suggests the lyrics will grasp things at the root, the project does the exact opposite. By avoiding heavy-handed lyrics and blatant messages, the band elevates their storytelling skills.
