Fulfilling Dreams and Inspiring Others: The Journey of Ubahgang
From tragedy to triumph, Ubahgang has embarked on a musical journey fueled by perseverance, passion, and the memory of his mother’s dreams. With a versatile style influenced by 2Pac’s poetry and a commitment to authenticity, Ubahgang creates music that speaks to the soul and inspires listeners to never give up.
Born into a family where music was more than just a pastime, Ubahgang was introduced to the world of melodies and rhythms at a young age. “My mother enrolled me in music when I was a kid,” he recalls. “When she passed away, I wanted to follow my music career and fulfill her dreams she had for me.”
Describing his music style as versatile, Ubahgang draws inspiration from a diverse range of experiences and influences. “I can pretty much do anything as far as the music,” he explains. “2Pac inspired me with his poetry.”
For Ubahgang, the songwriting process is a journey of self-expression and reflection. “My songwriting process is pretty simple,” he shares. “I talk about what I’m going through or what I’ve been through and I make poetry out of it. Then I turn it into a song once I hear a certain beat that I like.”
As an artist who has faced his fair share of challenges, Ubahgang is no stranger to adversity. “I’ve been through a lot,” he admits. “Started off with a football career, got into a horrible car wreck, got into some legal trouble. But I never gave up.”
Through his music, Ubahgang seeks to inspire and motivate others, sharing messages of resilience and determination. “I try to inspire people,” he says. “I try to make people understand that things aren’t gonna always go your way, but they will eventually if you never give up.”
For Ubahgang, the most memorable moment of his journey was his first show, where he witnessed the power of music to captivate and uplift. “My first show was unforgettable,” he recalls. “My sister-in-law stole the show with her dancing moves. I literally stopped rapping and started watching her.”
Looking ahead, Ubahgang has exciting collaborations in the pipeline, including projects with notable artists such as Hood, Sauce Walka, Money Man, 2 Chainz, and Peewee Longway. “I have an upcoming collabo that I plan on doing with 600 Ent artists,” he reveals.
In the studio, Ubahgang embraces the creative process with an open mind and a willingness to experiment. “My studio process is weird,” he admits. “I don’t ever know how I’m gonna say a song or a rap until I get in the studio and hear my voice.”
Ultimately, Ubahgang creates music for his fans, hoping to inspire and motivate them to pursue their dreams. “I make this music for y’all,” he declares. “I hope I can inspire you and motivate you to do whatever you wanna do in life with this music.”
With his unwavering dedication and heartfelt lyrics, Ubahgang is poised to make a lasting impact on the world of music, one song at a time.
Emerging artist Goladen Chyld is set to go global with his new album, War Cry.
The new star spreads peace, love, and unity with informative lyrics, crafty rhymes, summoning productions, and vibrant song structure. The debut album encapsulates the illustrious history of Chicago Hip-Hop, which is drenched in the windy city’s historic activism and unity.
The album, its anthems, message, and authenticity are the perfect starting points for newfound fans of the rising star. Tracks like “Righteous Stepper,” “Savior,” and “Gifted” showcase the artist’s progressive music that advocates for equality. War Cry peaked at #3 on Apple Music and cemented Goalden Chyld’s movement.
“I don’t believe you can listen to this album and not feel some sense of purpose and duty to your community,” he told The Final Call.
He added: “I haven’t received a single negative review. The response has been overwhelmingly positive across all age groups. I’ve received messages from nonprofits showing children engaging with the music, which shows its impact. It’s amazing to see a project resonate so deeply across different segments of our community, reinforcing the need for unity and positive change.”
Chyld, real name Qadir Hakim, was raised by a single mother on the rough side of Chicago. His musical abilities transcend barriers for a wider audience with the storytelling of struggles and progress. His resume is filled with endorsements from big names in hip-hop, ranging from Shaquille O’Neal to Lil Baby to Funk Flex.
War Cry quickly gained popularity on streaming platforms and social media, becoming a highly discussed new artist of 2024. The album arrives at the perfect time, especially considering the current social climate.
Goalden Chyld supports the new album with a series of album release events, including an upcoming unity concert in Chicago on May 25 and a five-borough community tour event at SOBs in New York City on May 30.

It’s amazing to see how much progress has been made, not only in the world of music but also in terms of tolerance and acceptance of different genres worldwide. Reflecting on their childhood, many can relate to not being allowed to listen to certain types of music, let alone pursue a career in it.
Growing up in a Greek household, there were limitations, and pursuing a career in music seemed like a distant dream. In many families, the expectation was to follow a more conventional path, such as becoming a teacher or a doctor. Back then, familial support for artistic endeavors was rare. However, as we step into 2024, things have significantly changed.
Parents are now not only supportive but encouraging of their children pursuing their creative dreams. There’s a newfound appreciation for the creative arts, and families play a crucial role in nurturing and supporting their children’s aspirations. This shift marks a significant change in societal attitudes towards creativity and the arts.

The 12-track project, heavily influenced by New York drill with elements from the Vermont music scene, offers a smooth listening experience. The album not only showcases Faxohzrd’s confidence but also his passion for music.
As someone once told us, there’s a difference between artists who create to connect with their audience and those who create solely for profit. Faxohzrd aims to move his crowd and make them experience his music fully.
For example, in “Kobe Bryant,” he displays his pen game and wordplay, cleverly referencing the late Kobe Bryant’s jersey number, 24. Faxohxzrd takes his shot and never misses.
“Lobotomy” is a straight pen track where he exhibits some of his best bars, blending boom-bap and drill beats, giving off takeover vibes as he talks about eliminating his competition as if performing a lobotomy.
“On Me” is a track dedicated to the ladies. Faxohxzrd acknowledges the women in his life, recognizing how they have always supported him and declaring his affection for his dream woman. The song gave me a taste of Mac Miller while listening to it.
Although these were our favorites from the project, without giving too much away, you need to check out the entire project for yourself.
