Stic.man Releases Fit Hop album The Workout 2, out now!!

                                     The Workout 2 by Stic.man  is available now on iTunes and Amazon

"A warrior lives with integrity and honor/ Keeps his loved ones protected like armor/ Without even a word, you can feel the aura/ Respect is evident through his values and morals..."
                                                                                            - Stic.man , White Belt

The new album release The Workout 2 from Stic.man just dropped. It features amazing motivational music for those focused on health and fitness. He calls his lane of rap "Fit-Hop" as it stays focused on themes connected to vegan living, yoga, mental clarity and focus. His last album The Workout was a hit around the  world in the urban fitness community. He is also the author of several books that deal with the art of rap as well as how to eat a vegan diet and still gain muscle. Stic.man is truly a groundbreaking artist and athlete in this respect. He is also one of the biggest and most consistent proponents of martial arts as a tool for personal cultivation and civilization.

The Workout 2 features not just raps, but up beat tracks with various slogans to keep you from quitting on yourself during your jog, or lifting session. On the song White Belt at 1:50 and 3:00 you will hear advice from HHCF Founder Adisa the Bishop on mindset a white belt should approach their training with. Listen here  White Belt and share it with other lovers of positive mindsets and good living.Other great songs include Stay Ready, Run, and Put in the Work. This is a great album for parents to get their teens or kids who play sports or aspire to.

Albums like this prove why Hip-Hop has promoted the healthiest lifestyles on earth above any other music form in history. If you think I'm wrong, go look up any lyrics from heavy metal, rock, jazz, soul, R & B, you choose it and lets compare lyric for lyric. Congrats to Stic.man on dropping such a great motivational piece of work. It is currently the #1 album on Amazon for health and fitness!!

Bishop Chronicles Podcast on Hip-Hop, Health and Fitness w/ Rapper T-KASH

Catch the latest edition of Bishop Chronicles Podcast from last week is live on www.bishopchronicles.com and available on Spotify, iTunes, Mixcloud, and Libsyn.

We look at the murder of Pop Smoke and then we have an in depth interview with Oakland rapper and health and fitness trainer T-KASH. Among other things we look at the long standing history rap music has of promoting health and fitness above all other forms of music on the planet. This is hard for a lot of people to understand because of the other (and legit part of the subculture of Hip-Hop) that has spoken about drug and alcohol abuse etc. At the same time, there has always been a counter-narrative to that lifestyle in Hip-Hop. This episode will introduce you to that.
