This is street ra-dio, for unsung heroes

from Common (Ft. Dwele) – The People Lyrics on Rap Genius

This is the core of hip hop, the motivation behind it’s roots. Hip hop began as a type of “rebel” music, for people being oppressed in the ghetto.

“Unsung Heroes” could refer to people who are struggling to survive — they are heroic as they live their difficult lives, and are often passed over by the media and the general population.
