Get Rich or Die Tryin, Ready To Die, The Blueprint– these are titles of staple bodies of work that are all defining moments in the careers of their respectable artists. These magnum opus masterpieces are household name albums that go down in history as culture grasping releases. However, with big moments such as those to compare to, seldom do we as listeners, especially in rap, appreciate the moments that led to those huge projects like we ought to. The ‘Guess Who’s Back’ or the “Dynasty: Roc La Familia’s get overlooked the most. It’s in these moments where we see an artist perform at a level which exudes that they have nothing to lose, that they want ‘it’ all, that the game so to speak is theirs. Well word has it that hip-hop can expect another moment like this summer of 2022, and that this moment can come from a very unlikely source.

What source may that be? Well Virginia, and specifically in Alexandria. This small town about 25 minutes south of the nation’s capital Washington D.C, serves as the home to upcoming rapper and artist, Flair. Much hasn’t been heard from Flair since his 2021 fall mixtape ‘No Love In These Streets’. The 10-track album was accepted fairly well by the DMV rap scene and generated a bit of buzz for the artist, which soon came to a halt after his Instagram was hacked in November of last year. To make matters worse the album wasn’t supported by any music videos which would naturally come off as disappointing to the eager listener. However, Flair has since been working on his next project which he says will be titled, ‘Street Pastor’. The project is slated to drop at the top of June 2022 and if it’s anything like the mixtape that preceded it rap fans are in for a treat.

Expect good things to come.”

Monica has always been in love with music. It was her escape and her source of positive energy. Monica Sliwa is a first-generation college graduate and a refugee from Iraq. This May of 2022, she will be graduating from UC San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy as the first Doctor of pharmacy in her family. She was born and raised in the capital, Baghdad, and escaped from her home country due to the war and various life-threatening circumstances that led to her arrival to the United States in 2010. After her arrival in the United States, doors of opportunities opened and she tried her very best to be where she is today despite all the negativity that surrounded her and her family.

She managed to teach herself how to play various instruments (guitar, piano, cajon, and ukulele) while studying, working, volunteering, and earning her bachelor’s degree from San Diego State University. She’s always used music as a stress-coping mechanism and been a positive influence on others like herself who want to sing and pursue higher education. The love of music was instilled in her way back in Syria (where she lived for 4 years as a refugee). Her family’s financial situation, gender, and culture were all in the way. Nonetheless, her goal has always been and will always be combining music and medicine. She wants to be the voice of every girl and boy who’s been discouraged from pursuing music and higher education. Music has helped her fight the darkest and most challenging days. She is grateful to have the opportunity to create and write instrumental songs to express her feelings and share them with the world. Despite not studying music, her songs come straight from the heart.

She can be followed on her Instagram account @themonicasliwa
