Here’s something you broke college students can relate to
If ever there were a song that fellow starving college students could relate to, rest assured it would be “Sallie Mae Blues” by Sol Collective hip-hop recording artist, Luke Tailor. “Sallie Mae Blues” is the first leak off of Tailor’s upcoming debut mixtape, TextBook Money. Offering his thoughts on what it’s like to be a broke college student today in America, his heart-stirring bars are sure to hit home, especially for those who have experienced the exact struggle of which Tailor touches on.
“It’s hard to study when ya stomach rumbles, it’s even harder when ya baby brother has a daughter. You watch him try to find a balance between being a father and all you do is watch in sympathy because ya pockets empty,” he raps in a tone full of despondency.
This is for the college grads with skyrocketing student loan debts. This is for the current students who are just barely getting by with their minimum wage paychecks from their part-time jobs. This is for you.
Tailor’s mixtape, TextBook Money, is due out very soon. Until then, join him as he basks in his “Sallie Mae Blues.”

What can I say. I have watched this young man grow up and really develop into his own. He had needs and along the way my wife an I were able to help him so he could develop. I am excited for “Luke Tailor” (Ronnee) for the gifts that he has been blessed with. if you are looking for something real, something raw and something that you can truthfully relate too. Luke Tailor is the one. Support this young brotha, let’s give him the support that I believe he deserves!!!!!!!! TEXT BOOK MONEY IS HOT!!!!!
Dope record can’t wait for the album
Man! Sallie mae blues are really no joke! Glad somebody is finally talkin about it.
To be honest this young dude is one of the hottest I’ve heard, I even heard his poetry and I have to say it really is some authentic talent something you don’t hear much any more.
Reminds sometimes of a rebirth of big L and he is still growing and developing is artistry. Big ups to Luke tailor I am definitely looking forward to your career taking off. I’m pretty sure somebody signed you already. Don’t keep the people waiting to long. Blessing all the way bro.

Most authentic thing I’ve heard in a while. Excited to see what comes next !!
This dude is fire. One of my favorite present day artists. Sacramento stand up!
Wow…this is one of those rare artist that you can see and say “he’s going to blow soon”. The concept is very relatable for millions of college students. I can’t wait to see what this artist puts out next.
Powerful message, that everyone can relate too. Keep up the good work
