“In the hood, I’m everywhere, like images of Jesus // Reflections of Moses, moving in slave’s clothing // Head-dress Arafat, Roberta Flack-type of rap.”
New Jeruz producer Mr. Green — known for his affiliation with The Outsidaz/Pacewon and his production for Snoop Dogg, Freddie Gibbs, Raz Fresco, R.A. The Rugged Man and Freeway — joins Blacastan on Raw Poetix Records’ new compilation LP, Global Connection Vol. 2.
The two Tri-State artists, whom have collaborated to great effect in the past, broadcast live from somewhere in the rap matrix in the official video for “Power,” where the Army of the Pharoahs emcee channels Rakim Allah, while challenging marauders who dare step to his chair of rap royalty, bookended by incredible cuts from Dutch turntablist DJ FMD.
