We're celebrating artists who fought a good fight this year. Artists who stood for something, artists we should revere. Mental health websites defending Hip Hop art, speaking up on hidden sexism, stopping beef before it starts. Do not go gentle into that good night. Not without turning up on The Message for those who gave us life.
