About This Quote
East and West Coast hip-hop heads might not like this comparison, but maybe silent hurting is the new Mid-Western love. The Midwest has been known as the heartland of America for decades now. And why wouldn’t it be? The Midwest is where we live, and it’s where we eat and watch football games. But now, with hip-hop gaining a foothold in the Midwest, we might be seeing a whole new side to the Midwestern nation: an emotional heartland.
Kansas City has long been known as a home for musicians, and Kansas City singer-songwriter Robert Ellis is one such musician. He just released his first full-length album, “The Invisible Man,” last month. It’s full of songs that tell stories about relationships that just don’t feel right — that don’t feel good — and yet they stick around and hurt us anyway.
