Positive Energy’s 2012 installment,“Intellectual Property,” was developed for an audience with a pallet for musical genius, lyrical brilliance, and a true appreciation for Hip Hop! The album is a mural of rich sonic textures that combines melodic renderings, profound lyrics, and diverse concepts. PE takes the listener through a journey from the light into darkness and back again. The opening declaration exclaims that PE has returned to “...heed the “Call of Duty” to remain vigilant and rise...” against cliché rap acts that perpetuate the degradation of an art form and culture. The album is an insightful contrast to the simplistic and saturated music that dominates mainstream media. It is a return to the classic type of hip-hop album that is carefully conceptualized and formulated with cohesive thought. The lead single, “Sound Off!” is an anthem that embodies the realness and authenticity of PE’s style. Tittles like “All Things Considered,” “Hearsay,” and “War With the Devil” explore the paradoxes and paradigms of everyday life. In “Catch a Bad 1” the group speaks to the mortality of humanity and “Obamanation” illustrates the typography of the current geo-political and socioeconomic landscape in the US. Positive Energy advises the next generation of Hip-Hop heads to be cautious in “Hold on Youngin (remix).” They warn the next generation of the systems that have been designed to stunt the realization of their full potential.
