Intro (news clip from George Floyd uprising): Earlier today just a few blocks away there was looting underway nearby, police seem to have had enough. (Horn Beeping, Explosions, Yelling ) The nation erupted into scenes of chaos (Explosion, Crowd Noise) Violence...(Yelling, "Oh My God!!!") And widespread destruction into the early morning hours. Dozens of American cities up in flames, after some protests turned into riots (crowd yells AAAAHHH in unison) Often followed by looting, as a nation simmering with unrest, unraveled. How long can you be peaceful, when your people are dying?

John Jigg$ 1st Verse: Uh.. Yeah yeah yeah, yeah John Jiggs, Monopoly Family Whattup Man!!! Yo....Uh... Everybody know I'm the one, ain't no denying it- Nothing like your average you'd rather fry in a frying pit/ I got screws loose something wrong with the wiring- Play with John Jiggs it's violence and violins/ This ain't direct, this for all of ya'll- Still will shoot a nigga in his foot, tell him walk it off/ (You'll be aight!!!) I pull the plug, shut your organs off- Mano y mano you gettin popped, like a bottle when the cork is off/ Extra dapper, down to suplex a rapper- Got em too stressed, you might as well recruit extra backup/ Neck snapper, they say I'm the best rapper- All you niggas meet your doom, that's my mood spelled backwards/ I'm in a rage, fuck minimum wage- When my AK is 47 that's middle aged/ I'm as livid as a gorilla that's sitting in a cage- Straight Killer from the beginning you should have been afraid/ And I'm gone..... Serious Truth 2nd Verse: Yo!! Serious Truth!! Whattup Blaq Poet.... Fort Myers, Boston.. Whattup.. Yo I'm a specialist in wildin', cause a riot telling feminists to diet- I'm a tyrant and a nemesis to Zion/ I'm the giant on the premises with Leninistic bias- So I'll purge all the detractors if it benefits defiance/ Existentialist on autopilot, pessimist in silence- Fundamentalist in science of class war/ we crack fore heads and glass jaws, and smother the last four- descendants of regime change, wondrous past lore/ A carjackin lexus jooker, gesture of a reckless looker- Sepsis, when I run in state houses with a pressure cooker/ (Hahaha) You gettin vexed by my stockpile of TECs- So when extortin you consider us the block's IRS/ I digress, we the few that'll crush ya- Mapping out a blueprint for power while colluding with Russia/ Executing gun control activists for globalism- While upholding....state terror and bolshevism/ Uh....Yeah!! The fuck you thought man!!! Uh....whattup!! Blaq Poet 3rd Verse: Yo let's get it... Whooohaaaannn!!!! Watch your mouth, before you get slapped in it- All you gon do is run tell the cops Blaq did it/ You aint tough, you aint from the hood boy- All your life you been considered a good boy/ I'm the original, Queensbridge murderer- How you the illest when nobody never heard of ya/ I flow like a sawed off shotgun, boom- Buck spread, guaranteed I pop one, make it hot on ya block, Thun/ I'm the craziest in a hundred block radius- Come to your hood, find the crib, and spray the shit/ (AK 47 shots) These rap bars, hard as a crow bar- Beat you in the head make you run like a track star/ (Nigga!!!) Stompin motherfuckers on the daily- Run for your life I'm hotter than the third rail be/ You brand new, I been in this shit- Get your wig split, for that subliminal shit/ Everybody aint homie, everybody aint fam- Fuck the rappity rap shit you aint whohann/ Be easy, I got my sights on you- You dead in the hood, I'll Rip your stripes off you Motherfucker!!!!

about

In the wake of the George Floyd murder at the hands of the Minneapolis police, all of us were shocked, angry, let down with the state of our country and the world. Like artists do, Blaq Poet & Serious Truth decided to take the passion in the anger caused by the social climate and economic oppression they've experienced and put it into something creative. They set out not only to address the struggle against the police, and the class struggle as a whole, but also to create a resurgence in hiphop being the voice of the streets. Hip hop as it was before the hostile corporate takeover.

The plan is to wrestle the culture back from the hands of the CEOs of major record labels and cultural gentrifiers, to negate the attitude of "every man for himself" so prevalent within hiphop and replace it with solidarity, to display a symbolic racial solidarity during a time in which tensions are extremely high.

The songs on this project address dystopia and street life from a first person perspective, while teaching lessons on revolutionary violence and touching base on a multitude of subjects whether it's just a subtle metaphor or overtly in your face. These songs are written from the perspective of an insurgent on the streets of any major American city in 2020, vivid imagery for those who are far removed from the front lines. All of this is fused together with a traditional east coast vibe. This project cuts deep into the contemporary American struggle and delivers a graphic discourse documenting the lives of two artists, from two different walks of life, sharing a similar struggle.
