God-Des & She Tell Us What's Killing Music
God-Des & She are like strict parents. Or coaches. They only hurt your feelings because they love you. On their new single "Radio Up" they take the radio down a peg, but only because they care about it so much.

Over a grinding beat provided by Baltimore's Reina Williams, emcee God-Des spits fire about the downfall of the radio and the record industry as we once knew it.

"The music business is dying / cuz music is not providing/ emotion / it's missing/ lip synching... music is no longer human/ overproducing... Music Television doesn't play any music / auto-tune is tuning everything that we're doing / and we wonder why people don't buy music anymore / cuz we don't care who the song's by." - more on this story
