James Lewis, The Stuttering Rapper, to Revive Hip Hop as an Art Form

James Lewis

Some say hip hop has been humdrum since the 90s but James Lewis hopes to hype it back up. "The world has forgotten that it's an art," the aspiring rapper says, so he's determined "to make a change in what people think about hip hop music."

Listening to his EP Who Am I, you'd never know James suffers from a speech impediment. He's becoming known as "The Stuttering Rapper," and while he was once too embarrassed to talk about it, he now wants to "give other people with the same condition some hope and motivation."

Another thing that makes James stand out from other rising rappers is his average name. Without a crazy alias or ridiculous spelling, his crusade for credibility is taken more seriously. He thinks he stands out because of his honesty.

"I can personally say, that I give you all of me! There’s things in my [lyrics] I have never told anyone, and that is where I think a lot of "hip-hop" artist lack... honesty!" James exclaims.

While he's not signed to a record label right now, he is a member of Bath Dub Sounds, an independent group of artists and producers from around the world who specialize in different types of music including dub step and hip hop.

With deeply passionate lyrics and a smooth rapping style, James Lewis has big plans for the future and he's all about getting feedback from his fans. Check out his mini music video for "F.A.M.E. (Finally At My Escape)" below and download his Who Am I EP for free!

Mad Men: Not As Far Off As We Thought

After Season 5's extremely delayed start, we got used to the idea of never knowing when we'd see Mad Men on TV. Now, though, we can stop flipping pages on our calendars and guessing, because a premiere date has finally been announced. April 7th is the day to remember.


Season 6 will premiere with a two-hour first episode directed by executive producer Scott Hornbacher and written by Matthew Weiner, the show's creator. He said of the upcoming premiere, "If you like the show, there's a good chance you'll like the premiere. It is different than last year's in a sense that it was my idea and I was just trying to give bang for a buck to an audience that I didn't want to lose because we'd been away so long. This year it's really constructed like a film. It is its own story and hopefully it foreshadows the rest of the season."


Weiner mentions it's important to catch up if you haven't, since all of season six is "in reference to last season."


The newest season will be 13 episodes (technically the premiere counts as two), and Weiner says his thinking changed when he realized the show would be coming to an end in a couple of years.
"I was really starting to think in terms of the last 26 episodes together," he said. "We've been taking advantage of the 26 episodes we have left to do all the things that we've wanted to do, and so far I think that the audience is in for quite a ride."


We can't wait to find out what happens with Don and Megan, Joan and her dirtbag husband Greg (when we last saw Joan, she was being served divorce papers), and Peggy and Abe. Will you be watching?
