New Guerrilla Funk Releases In Stores Today (Paris, T-K.A.S.H.) + Snippets

[Laconic]

 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.

With the recent reduction of civil liberties, increased instances of injustice and racism both domestically and abroad and a rise in self-censoring corporate media monopolies hell-bent on stifling dissent while at the same time flooding our communities with negative and escapist entertainment, it's ironic that this is the most prolific period of protest song-writing in history.

And the Hard Truth Soldiers don't miss a beat.

Featuring Paris' trademark massive sonic production, Volume 2 showcases contributions from Paris, T-KASH, The Conscious Daughters, Uno the Prohpet, Jasiri X, NYOil, Truth Universal, Sandy Griffith & more.

 In these lean times of global turmoil the hip-hop community must ask itself whether or not it is willing to step up to the plate and address issues through music and activism that are of importance to all of us. At Guerrilla Funk, we are, and there is no better representative of this commitment than T-K.A.S.H. As a Hip-Hop artist, radio personality and community activist, he is a part of movement to merge socially responsible messages with music that engages and stands the test of time.

He first introduced his style on his stellar Paris-produced debut, Turf War Syndrome, after leaving fellow revolutionary music stalwarts The Coup to join the Guerrilla Funk family of artists. Now he returns with his most inspired collection to date, touching on various social and political issues in this new post-Bush climate. Hard Truth Soldier to the fullest.

The time has never been more right for voices of opposition to be heard - so here we are. Guerrilla Funk will continue to keep pushin', releasing material of substance in the face of adversity, and hopefully rewarding those who seek more from their entertainment. Thank you for your support!

props for posting that.
i was considering to post a link to the snippets.

T-Kash's album could top the first one

also it's funny that, according to the booklet & the website, Acid Reflex "introduced" T-Kash 
he already had an album on the label

Props for checking.  I wanted to upload Martial Law but I've only heard it on Rhapsody.  That song is incredible and his other solo joint is really good too.  I will be looking for a link in the meantime before I purchase it.

The T-KASH record does sound better than the 1st but I haven't listened to the entire thing yet.  Will do that when I get a chance.
And yeah I LOL when I saw the Acid Reflex booklet.

      Release Notes:

      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.

      With the recent reduction of civil liberties, increased
      instances of injustice and racism everywhere, and a rise in
      self-censoring corporate media monopolies hell-bent on
      stifling dissent and flooding our communities with negative
      and escapist entertainment, it's ironic that this is the
      most prolific period of protest song-writing in history. And
      the Hard Truth Soldiers don't miss a beat. By showcasing a
      range of talented artists from a number of different areas
      nationwide, we represent a united front against bigotry,
      misogyny and the exploitation and misrepresentation of our
      communities and culture.

      Welcome to Hard Truth Soldiers Volume 2.
