Missed this when it first dropped but def worth posting now.
Xzibit’s got a pretty good history with the Mega (working with Saukrates, doing many shows in the city over the years on his own and with Tha Liks, etc), so it’s kinda cool to see his son connect with the city’s new era.

It’s a Vancity, Detroit, Toronto trifecta on this one.

Canadian rapper TassNata leaks a new single from his forthcoming album “Before Mourning.” The single, titled “Say Goodbye” features new school heavyweights Danny Brown and Rich Kidd. With all 3 verses recorded in 3 different cities (LA, Toronto & Detroit), the 3 rappers come together seamlessly to create a 94’ – esque track produced by Toronto’s most renowned beat maker – Rich Kidd. TassNata and Danny Brown were first introduced through mutual connections with Detroit artists Black Milk and elZHi in 2010, and originally planned on collaborating for TassNata’s first album titled Between Planets. Due to deadline restrictions, the song was put on ice until 2014. We feel the wait was worth it. Check for TassNata’s album on December 16th 2014 via soundcloud & Itunes.
Two new ones from Vontaylor.
Produced by Renegades and Morris Brothers.

Well alright then..
There is a crisis in America. This crisis began with the first European settler encountering the indigenous people of the land; the First Nations. This crisis continued with the first enslaved African landing on the shores of North America, and the first Japanese internment camp. There are too many examples to name.
This crisis is a crisis of value, value of economy over human life and the environment that sustains it, value of one perception over another, value of the rights of one group over another and the hypocrisy of “freedom” by force.
This skewed perception of value is present all over the world but in no place is it so extreme as in America, presently the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world. The injustice in America is both it’s foundation and it’s eventual downfall (see Rome for details). The crisis is a moral one.
Produced by Big Sproxx, the producer behind the Freedom Writers, I wrote the song but left the names out because this has happened many many times before, and will happen again. It is a sister song to ‘Black Bodies’ a song I wrote for my 2011 album One Day Soon, that song was about violence inside the black community, ‘America’ is about violence (structural, political and social) toward the black community in the form of police brutality and the injustice that seems to inherently follow it. ‘America’ is told from the perspective of a member of the community who witnesses the shooting, reflects on it’s reality and ends up on the streets in chaotic protest.
This song is a protest, but it won’t solve the problem, people will.
