Listen to this speech/skit on the Immortal Technique album, The Martyr.
“It is not a foreign invasion we have to fear, but rather a threat of a force within our Nation.”
Wow, very powerful words.
Check out Anthem; a new promising, young rapper.
Like many other new rappers he has been able to fuse hip hop with indie rock, but here he goes old school. He remixes Mobb Deep’s Survival of Fittest and shows his lyrical abilities.
This is why Common is one of my favorite rappers ever. Real, positive hip hop.
Check out “Blue Sky” the single off his upcoming studio album, The Dreamer, The Believer.
Blastin holes in the night til she bled sunshine Talib Qweli, “Respiration” by Black Star
I wasn’t a huge fan of Theophilus London at first, but he has quickly grown on me.
Check out his new video for “Last Name, London”
Chiddy Bang - Too Much Soul
Tyler the Creator interview with Pitchfork. Interesting guy, very unique and creative artist.
Lupe finally releases his video for “Words I Never Said”. Great video!
He went with Sanaa Hamri, known for doing videos for the best and they are always dramatic.
These guys are good. If you like Wu Tang, good hip hop, then you will like them too.
Check em out.
