Blaze cuts roadhouse fuel with its “Struggle” song
‘The Blaze’ cuts off show by cutting off its “Struggle” song
The Blaze, a hip-hop record label founded in 1991 by former Detroit Lions star Mark Ronson, released its latest al?????bum The Power & Purpose this week to rave reviews.
The album is packed with ca?????tchy tracks and boasts one of rap’s more accessible tracks, a song called “Struggle” that plays over a fast-paced beat.

Others, however, believe the line is a perfect representation of the hip-hop community: ‘It’s a catchy beat. I mean, come on – people can say whatever they want – but what are your feelings?? That song is about getting over things and what the purpose of this generation is,’ wrote one post.
‘My friend is Black and he thought the line was cool. What does he think that means?’ another wrote.
