To describe the music on his EP, poet and rapper Satnam says that it is about a girl "who deserves more than just the average pickup line." And in a way he has the same respect for his listeners. Satnam’s favorite topic may be women, but his style of expression is not that of an ordinary rapper. The Orange County native released the four-track EP, called "The 18th Letter Diaries", last year, which showcases his ability to flatter the ladies with his verses. The songs are full of elegance and references to basketball and movies, making them witty and fun to follow along. Most impressively, and for some upmost pop culture cred, he also manages to name drop Pavement and Drake in the same song. Keeping up with current affairs, Satnam released a single earlier this year called "Stop Cryin’, Yo!", which was inspired by a friend who committed suicide. In response to that and a recent wave of suicides across the nation, he has pledged to donate all the money earned from that single to a handful of charities who work to prevent and provide support to combat suicide. The single will also be part of Satnam’s upcoming album, called ‘Heart of a Lion.’ The new album is set to be released later this fall. – Karla Hernández
