Decreasing attention spans and increasing online media usage have created a new genre of artist deemed "college rap." The name springs from the overwhelming number of creative students who have been able to leverage their music through social media and on-campus groups. This new wave of artist uses guerilla marketing and word of mouth advertising tactics to create buzz throughout their local campuses. The problem with this movement is the lack of longevity and differentiation that exists in this realm.
Enter Hendersin. Never a slave to the industry nor a victim to the problem, Tyronne “Hendersin” Henderson attempts to defy the odds by offering a combination of intellect, emotion, fun, and artistic punch lines. He never wears the mask of others, crediting his hometown and life experiences for his continued rise.
Growing up in a small town in Western Massachusetts allowed Hendersin to shine in his community by way of academics, athletics, and the arts. After spending a year at Bridgewater State College, he decided shift his focus to music and put academics in his back pocket. Rather than moving to Boston or New York like most of his peers, he moved home to build a reputation in a relatively untapped market. Here, he teamed up with childhood friend Corey Ricketts, who had taken his training as a Sales and Marketing professional into the entertainment industry. This allowed Hendersin to focus on the music while Corey built a reputation.
Being local enabled word to travel fast and soon enough Hendersin was performing with the likes of Boston’s own - Mr. Lif, the lyrical - Immortal Technique, Jurassic 5’s - Chali 2na, Wu-Tang’s - Raekwon, Wiz Khalifa, Fablolous, Big Sean and others. Rather than take every show he could get, Hendersin focused his time on creating good music and soon began producing his own beats.
To date, Hendersin has compiled 6 mix tapes, most notably "No Rhyme Or Reason Vol. 2" which has gained over 10,000 downloads on Datpiff. Hendersin also independently released the album "Henny In Ya System" in September 2013 which peaked at number 85 on iTunes Hip Hop Album charts. In August 2014 Hendersin made his Billboard debut landing at the number 10 spot on Billboard's Next Big Sound chart. Hendersin is currently working on an album as well as booking a tour.

Hendersin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have you found that your admiration will never set you free?
Get your life prepared, you're next in line for judgement day, now
Are you praying? Are you begin? That you're anyone else?
Guess who it is? It's the best in the biz
Amber be alert 'cuz they checking for the kids
Hendersin yeah I'm back, just doing what I do
Yeah, it's like they never knew, I could spit it so precise
Bet that I'm all up in their head like lice
I'll never take it back, I ain't taking your advice
Then they know what I mean, motherfucker cuz I'm nice enough
Yeah, well I got what you need
And it might sound conceited
But I will not concede
I ain't fuckin with Ruxin and I'm way out of your league
I ain't messing with you scrubs, yeah, that's word to Dr. Reid
So close, motherfucker I can taste it
Ya'll don't see the vision
You should get some lactic
Feeling so good, you can say I'm on that mace shit
It came from the heart, so that's why I had to pace it
Good to have your name (your name)
Scattered on the lips of the young
And now you claim (you claim)
That it's you on the tips of their tongue
And if you're proud of what you had to kill
To get your thrill, well
I bet it stinks to give up everything
And realize that they don't want you!
It's a lonely road where the
Forgotten go, where your, misery finds its company (woah)
It's a long way down to the, sacred ground
Where the, people beg for peace!
I don't play, something like a mascot
And I'm focussed, treat me like an ascot
Coming' for your neck, yeah
Coming for respect
I ain't fuckin with your crew
You got jokers like a deck
What the fuck do you expect?
For me to just resign
While you decline
Going circles like a re-run
I sat back, motherfucker call that recline
Pay the cost to be the boss
There's no such thing as free time
Yeah, if you think then take a seat
But instead ill make a beat
That's the way I'm making heat
And I hit the ground running; you'd probably break your feet
And I'm coming for the fame
Motherfucker watch me skeet, and um
I remember, when they didn't need me
Now they wouldn't dare try to lead me
And you know they kid is spitting ruthless like Compton in the 80's
Right now, rap gang, boy this shit is so easy
Good to have your name (your name)
Scattered on the lips of the young
And now you claim (you claim)
That it's you on the tips of their tongue
And if you're proud of what you had to kill
To get your thrill, well
I bet it stinks to give up everything
And realize that they don't want you!
It's a lonely road where the
Forgotten go, where your, misery finds its company (woah)
It's a long way down to the, sacred ground
Where the, people beg for peace!
Lonely road where the

The lyrics to Hendersin's song "Lonely Road" are about the journey to success and the sacrifices one makes to achieve their goals. The opening lines, "The hollow sound is ringing where your heart used to be, have you found that your admiration will never set you free?" suggest that the pursuit of admiration or fame may lead to a lack of fulfillment and a feeling of hollowness. The following lines, "Get your life prepared, you're next in line for judgment day, are you praying? Are you begin? That you're anyone else?" talk about being ready for the consequences and scrutiny that come with success, and questioning one's own identity and authenticity.
The verses are full of confidence and swagger, with Hendersin asserting his skills in rapping and dismissing those who doubt him. The lines, "I ain't messing with you scrubs, yeah, that's word to Dr. Reid, so close, motherfucker I can taste it," speak to his ambition and determination to make it to the top of the rap game. The chorus repeats the phrase "lonely road" and talks about the isolation and loneliness that success can bring, with the "forgotten" finding their "misery" as company.
Overall, "Lonely Road" is a reflection on the struggles and sacrifices of pursuing success in a competitive industry, and the toll it can take on one's mental and emotional wellbeing.
