“Government cocaine cooked into ghetto crack rock/corrupt cops false testimony at your arraignment/check the cheque, constant struggle to make the payments/workin’ your whole life wonderin’ where the day went/subway packed like a multicultural slave ship/its rush hour, 2:30 to 8 non-stop’n people comin’ home after corporate share croppin’/and fuck flossin’ mothers are tryin to feed children/but gentrification is kickin’ them outta they buildin’” – Harlem Streets
If you have not yet read my review of Immortal Technique’s “Revolutionary Vol.2,” do so immediately after finishing this article. The South American born, Harlem bred emcee brings his incredibly poignant political tirades in a manor that conjures up images of a young Chuck D.
“Revolutionary Vol.2” will not just satisfy your needs with excellent lyricism and nice production, but it will educate you and challenge you to think. The album is available now at immortaltechique.com and most online retailers.
