Because my version of Hip-Hop still packs a pistol for revolutionary purposes, we’re proud to highlight two tremendous tracks by Bambu and Skipp Coon & Mr. Nick. Both songs will be featured on Trackstar’s upcoming mixtape, Pressure, where music and Molotovs will come together in the name of civil disobedience done to a beat.

“The basic idea of the tape is that if America doesn’t do anything about police brutality, the Prison Industrial Complex, etc, then the tension and pressure caused by the oppression will bubble over and eventually revolution will become inevitable. Dropping it the day before Thanksgiving provides additional irony since it is a day that America inadvertently celebrates the slaughter of innocent Americans.”

Trackstar’s Pressure drops tomorrow. Clear a bit of hard drive space and stay tuned.
