The Avon Barksdale Story Trailer

(Avon Barksdale’s ordering of killing witnesses after a successful trial comes to mind.) This looks to be the complete opposite with The Avon Barksdale Story, which aligns the real Avon/Bodie with Vlad the Impaler as they document some of his own heinous acts with some of Wire creator David Simon’s news clippings as fuel.

The Avon Barksdale Story will be available on WSHH DVD March 10th, 2010.

4-Ize – “Classic Example” Trailer

Equally as important as having a dope track is the engaging visuals to match. This looks to be no problem for 4-Ize, the Atlanta rapper with the endless rhyme book. From what I hear, there’s plenty of torture motherfucker © Wu-Tang with enough chainsaws, knives and axes to give Leatherface a heart attack. The cut also features Señor Kaos and Punchlyne from the mixtape Illuminated Animals, which is available now.
