Bay Area revolutionary Paris is one of the so-called "underground" artists who has a very loyal fan-base who stay supporting the rapper, who never fails to deliver music for those who still fight the system. Never allowing himself to get drawn into the watered-down rap category, Paris recently produced the entire latest Public Enemy album "Rebirth Of A Nation", which is in stores March 7th through Guerilla Funk Recordings.
Also dropping the same day is a compilation called "Hard Truth Soldiers Vol. 1". Started as a response to the current apolitical climate in commercial music, the "Hard Truth Soldiers compilation series is a rallying cry for social justice. Each volume is a collection of material that goes against the grain of commercial hip-pop by providing content of substance, touching on subjects ranging from war and police brutality to black on black crime and domestic violence.
And the Hard Truth Soldiers don't miss a beat.
Featuring Paris' trademark massive sonic production, Volume 1 showcases contributions from Public Enemy, The Coup, Dead Prez, Paris, T-KASH, Kam, The Conscious Daughters, MC Ren, Sun Rise Above, and The S.T.O.P. Movement (Mobb Deep, Tray Deee, Soopafly, KRS-One, Defari, Daz, J-Ro, RBX, Bad Azz, WC, Dilated Peoples, Mac Minister, The Alchemist, Mack 10, Evidence, Defari, Everlast, and B-Real), among others. Fredwreck produced the two S.T.O.P. Movement tracks.
Some of the tracks you may have heard before, others are new. Whatever the case, this is all powerful music, don't sleep on it. I have the tracklisting, along with two preview tracks for ya'll to download below.
The first track is by Bay Area artist T-K.A.S.H., who really gets a chance to shine on this compilation. His solo track "Made In America" is my personal favorite, a real banger. Check it out below:
T-K.A.S.H. - Made In America
