Anyone familiar with Charles Darwin’s “natural selection” can see how this theory directly applies to the music industry, particularly hip-hop. Since the music environment is unable to support unlimited growth, not all artists get to showcase their full potential. With variation, differential traits, and a healthy dose of buzz, survival by natural selection becomes an inevitable outcome. Survival of the fittest, if you may. On so many levels, this playlist attempts to capture that struggle for existence.
