5th Child | Music with a Message

By LSherie on June 25, 2013

5th Child is one of the most humble Hip/Hop artists I know. Mississippi breed, 5th Child talks about his growth from young boy to grown man mentally as well as in the music industry. As an independent artist his vision is acute with the mission of delivering a message while having fun. His lyricism penetrates the thoughts of anyone listening- and each time, you learn or hear something different. Taking his music seriously, he has an audience that widely spreads across race and respected by all. It’s not all work and no play with this artist though, he knows how to have fun, he simply chooses a more dense lyricism to make you think. He is and will always be…5th Child… – L. Sherie

In an era of hip hop where lyricism has taken a backseat to simplistic staccato flows and passing trends, an emcee like 5th Child comes as a breath of fresh air. Hailing from Jackson, MS, 5th (born Stephen Brown) takes a much more introspective approach to his craft. Rather than replaying the dopeboy tales, club life, and war stories that have become so prevalent in the culture, 5th’s subject matter explores the various dimensions of life, love, politics, religion, & music. At 26 years old, 5th’s music combines the content of a socially conscious rapper with hard hitting yet soulful beats to produce a sound that is inspiring and catchy at the same time.
