Check out the video here:
Marsha Ambrosius was deeply affected by the losses of her Aunt, Philly rapper Jimme Wallstreet, and Louisiana rapper Lil Snupe. Marsha claimed to have heard the composition of the song in a dream and immediately went to her piano and put her thoughts onto paper. The video was put together using a few clips and photos taken from her iPhone during one of her most recent flights. The song has only been on the web for less than 24 hours and is already getting a lot of buzz from her fans via Twitter and Facebook. The deep emotions that projects to the listener leaves chills in the spine and demands attention from music critics.
Both Jimme Wallstreet and Lil Snupe were young up and coming rappers from opposite sides of the country who met their end to a bullet in the past week. Lil Snupe was signed on as a Meek Mill rapper when he was fatally shot twice over a video game. Wallstreet left a tribute on his Instagram to senseless murder of Lil Snupe that same morning. Later that evening, Wallstreet was shot on the steps of his mother's house. Wallstreet was also an affiliate of rapper Meek Mill. For more information on the murders click here.
I absolutely LOVE Marsha Ambrosius. She always seems to put so much thought and emotion into her song writing. She inserts messages in her music, that can force any individual to pay attention and receive it involuntarily. With songs like "Far Away" and "Without You" featuring Ne-Yo, Marsha conveys the message of homosexuality, suicide, and sexual abuse through her storytelling videos, so when she wrote "Sky" I was not surprised at its success. It is a very relatable song, because everyone has felt the pain of losing something or someone in their life, but did not have the words to express the feeling, so Marsha did the honors. Thank you Marsha.
