In a world where aggression often drowns out vulnerability, H-A-M (Hustle And Motivate) and Hamlet B Da Emcee step up with Conflict Resolutions V2 — a boom bap-rooted, disco-rap-influenced single that aims higher than most modern tracks dare. Released on February 23, 2025, through BrowHard County Sound Unit, this song isn’t just a lyrical clinic or another remix. It’s a statement, a peace treaty delivered through cadence and conscience. With a clear intent to address the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, H-A-M elevates hip-hop’s historical role as a voice for justice and gives it a diplomatic edge.
Born out of BrowHard County, H-A-M has sent a flood of submissions to Folded Waffle — thirty in total, twenty-nine approved — but Conflict Resolutions V2 rises as a highlight. This isn’t just about putting out music. It’s about purposeful music. The artist leans heavily on the tradition of conscious hip-hop, rooted in the grit of street education and elevated by thoughtful message delivery. Featuring Hamlet B Da Emcee, the track pulses with layered meaning: balancing tough talk and deep empathy, striking the difficult pose between confidence and emotional exposure. It’s a duality that real emcees — especially those raised in turbulent communities — know well.
Stylistically, the track rides on familiar boom bap foundations with an old-school disco-rap twist, creating a nostalgic yet charged energy. But the vibe isn’t all retro. This version — the V2 — exists because the stakes have changed. The global climate is tense, especially for youth caught between borders, bullets, and budgets. Creative youth spaces, from Odesa to Oakland, are being torn apart by violence — physical, political, economic. This song enters that space and dares to mediate, offering a flow of resolve instead of retaliation. It’s academic but not pretentious, approachable without pandering. It’s the kind of track you could play in a barbershop debate or a community conflict mediation workshop.
The lyrics, while grounded in real conflict, also speak metaphorically to any battleground — whether it’s neighborhood beef, internal wars, or institutional injustice. H-A-M and Hamlet embody the complexity of leadership through art. They know that to speak peace into a world trained to respond to violence isn’t weakness — it’s power. The hook urges not just attention, but transformation. This track doesn’t scream for viral status. It builds it — brick by brick, verse by verse, solution by solution.
