After teaming with Kxng Crooked and King Deco for his “Starshine” single in March, Accent is back with another stunning collaboration. The NYC rhymer recruits the self-described “underground philosopher” Benefit for the song “Belief.”
Acc describes the Culture I produced track:
“Belief” is the devil’s advocate’s devil’s advocate. It plays both sides of the fence in a series of queries regarding humanity’s age-old curiosities. Genesis or the Big Bang? Adam & Eve or Evolution? Nature or Nurture? But it never commits itself to either side of any argument.
Fans can look forward to getting a full Accent project next week. The Last Lyricist free album drops June 22. Listen to the AllHipHop.com premiere of “Belief” below.

After receiving much backlash for passing as a black woman while engaging in civil rights work, Rachel Dolezal has resigned as the president of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington.
Dolezal was outed by her parents, Larry and Ruthanne, last week who did an interview saying that they were white and so is their daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Dolezal said that their daughter began pretending to be a black woman eight or nine years ago. She attended Howard University, is a professor of Africana Studies at Eastern Washington University and has identified herself on state documents as partly black. Dolezal has even gone as far as having her two adopted siblings stage as her sons and identify a black man as her father in the media.
Read her statement below that she issued via her Facebook face.
Dear Executive Committee and NAACP Members,
It is a true honor to serve in the racial and social justice movement here in Spokane and across the nation. Many issues face us now that drive at the theme of urgency. Police brutality, biased curriculum in schools, economic disenfranchisement, health inequities, and a lack of pro-justice political representation are among the concerns at the forefront of the current administration of the Spokane NAACP. And yet, the dialogue has unexpectedly shifted internationally to my personal identity in the context of defining race and ethnicity.
I have waited in deference while others expressed their feelings, beliefs, confusions and even conclusions – absent the full story. I am consistently committed to empowering marginalized voices and believe that many individuals have been heard in the last hours and days that would not otherwise have had a platform to weigh in on this important discussion. Additionally, I have always deferred to the state and national NAACP leadership and offer my sincere gratitude for their unwavering support of my leadership through this unexpected firestorm.
While challenging the construct of race is at the core of evolving human consciousness, we can NOT afford to lose sight of the five Game Changers (Criminal Justice & Public Safety, Health & Healthcare, Education, Economic Sustainability, and Voting Rights & Political Representation) that affect millions, often with a life or death outcome. The movement is larger than a moment in time or a single person’s story, and I hope that everyone offers their robust support of the Journey for Justice campaign that the NAACP launches today!
I am delighted that so many organizations and individuals have supported and collaborated with the Spokane NAACP under my leadership to grow this branch into one of the healthiest in the nation in 5 short months. In the eye of this current storm, I can see that a separation of family and organizational outcomes is in the best interest of the NAACP.
It is with complete allegiance to the cause of racial and social justice and the NAACP that I step aside from the Presidency and pass the baton to my Vice President, Naima Quarles-Burnley. It is my hope that by securing a beautiful office for the organization in the heart of downtown, bringing the local branch into financial compliance, catalyzing committees to do strategic work in the five Game Changer issues, launching community forums, putting the membership on a fast climb, and helping many individuals find the legal, financial and practical support needed to fight race-based discrimination, I have positioned the Spokane NAACP to buttress this transition.
Please know I will never stop fighting for human rights and will do everything in my power to help and assist, whether it means stepping up or stepping down, because this is not about me. It’s about justice. This is not me quitting; this is a continuum. It’s about moving the cause of human rights and the Black Liberation Movement along the continuum from Resistance to Chattel Slavery to Abolition to Defiance of Jim Crow to the building of Black Wall Street to the Civil Rights and Black Power Movement to the #BlackLivesMatter movement and into a future of self-determination and empowerment.
With much love and a commitment to always fight for what is right and good in this world,
Rachel Dolezal
