Jasiri X – Mandela

[Lyrics]
Dearly beloved what we covet is rubbish
I hover like God’s judgment above it
This is ascension come and listen to vision
intelligence intuition like Neil Tyson and GZA
discussion nuclear fission
my producer’s Religion my Creator’s omniscient
my destiny it was written I guess you can see that it’s spittin
I was patient like Mandela in prison
cell sittin but never fell victim cause you can’t jail wisdom
go at the devil so you may see me in hell’s mentions
crucifixion my feet and hands used have nails in em
I bore the cross, mind frame for the cost
time came I tore in off high plains I’m soaring off
This is ascension come and listen to vision
intelligence intuition like Neil Tyson and GZA
discussion nuclear fission
my producer’s Religion the truth is Lucifer’s finished
I shoot put 2 in his fitted
the rest flew through his henchmen his captains and his lieutenants
they got turned into the walking dead by the true and living
X, Jah Siri god clearly
Come to give sight to the blind voice to the dumb and ears to the hard hearing
I was born in the shadows they adopted the dark merely
Now I’m flying towards the heavens you can see the stars near me
This is ascension come and listen to vision intelligence intuition
Everything that’s he’s spittin is relevant to his mission
The son of the son if man I was summoned to tell the system
The devils ended and we representing a new beginning
My producer’ Religion my flow is fluid infinite you know this dude has ascended
given high fives through the bright skys and beyond it
you might see this pilot climb out cockpit and ride a comet
put the sun behind a sonnet cause a solar eclipse
this flowwer spits plus owns a grip like a boa constricts
and I will never kill a man unless Jehovah insists
hold up my rod in front of MCs like Moses they split
consider this the equivalent to Noah on ships
a refuge from the judgement of God the closer it gets This
This is ascension come and listen to vision
intelligence intuition like Neil Tyson and GZA
discussion nuclear fission
my producer’s Religion we wining we super driven
like Benzs with supped up engines
spin this the roof is risen
never PC I Mac like a computer technician
wanna know who the best listen
this is ascension intelligence intuition
like Ali and Sonny Liston
I shook up the world when I hit em in under 3 minutes

Rakim – What’s Wrong (Prod. Marco Polo)

“What’s Wrong,” was initially produced and recorded for Rakim’s “Seventh Seal” (2009) LP, but due to clearance issues was nixed from the retail release of the project. It has since sat dormant until Rakim gave the track back to Marco and he decided to use it for his forthcoming free-LP “Newport Authority 2” as Marco states “I’ve recorded so much quality material over the last few years and I really want to share it all. It couldn’t all possibly fit on “Port Authority 2”; hence “Newport Authority 2” came to be.”

“Newport Authority 2” will feature appearances from Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Artifacts, Das Efx, Lil Fame (M.O.P.), Torae & Ruste Juxx all rocking over Marco’s production.

Yet, the project everyone should really be excited for is Marco’s “Port Authority 2” LP which will be released this spring on Soulspazm Records. “Port Authority 2” features appearances from Organized Konfusion (yes, a new Oragnized Konfusion track!!), Gangrene, Talib Kweli, DJ Premier, Masta Ace, Posdnuos (De La Soul), Kardinal Offishal, Styles P, Nature, Rah Digga, Slaine, Celph Titled, Ill Bill, Large Professor, Inspectah Deck, O.C. & many many more.

Awkword – Notorious f. Wordsmith, Jasiri X, Jus Daze & Capital X

[Via SoundCloud & 2DBZ]

On the latest single off AWKWORD’s forthcoming DJBooth-sponsored 100% for-charity global Hip Hop project World View, up-and-coming Australian producer @amin-payne re-flips the original Duran Duran “Notorious” sample for a song inspired by the stabbings and shootings that took place across the country at the premieres for the Biggie biopic of the same name.

The brand-new single — heralded by recent Rock & Roll HoF inductee Chuck D of Public Enemy — begins with a vitriolic a-capella intro from raptivist Capital X; follows with AWKWORD’s sneering response to those disturbing events at the premieres; delves deep into the politics of Hip Hop and violence with incredible guest appearances from @wordsmithmusic, @jasirix and @jusdaze; then closes out with classic quotes from B.I.G., chopped up respectively and with precision from Amin PaYnE.

FULL Description:

“This song was originally inspired by the shootings and stabbings at the premieres across the United States for the Biggie biopic, Notorious — when we should have been celebrating one of our best and remembering the needless violence that caused his tragic death, we were busy perpetuating negative stereotypes. For me, and for Wordsmith, Jasiri X, Jus Daze and Capital X, these events became symbolic of a greater societal, cultural problem: one that impacts the Hip Hop community, specifically, and needs to be solved now. Chicago in 2012 says it all: a record number of murders; regular reports of police abuse; and a now-famous gang-affiliated 17-year-old rapper Chief Keef laughing on twitter at the shooting death of a local rival. And the massacre at Sandy Hook shows the problem extends beyond ‘the hood’. For BIG, for Hip Hop, for our communities, all our communities, let’s change what it means to be Notorious.” — AWKWORD
