Phil Da Agony, Chace Infinite, Planet Asia and Affion Crockett - Black History


Strong Arm Steady feat. Chace Infinite, Planet Asia & Affion Crockett - "Black History" from tunji balogun on Vimeo.

New illness featuring Phil Da Agony of Strong Arm Steady, Chace Infinite of Self Scientific, Planet Asia of Cali Agents and Affion Crockett, yes that Affion Crockett, the kid from a host of TV shows and movies that does the killer Jay-Z impression. LOL, and homie held his own on his verse!

This Vid truly is thee definition of ill and I wish more L.A. heads dropped concept tracks that mirrored the artistic worthiness of "Black History". I also wish that vid's like this got some spins on television somewhere....but no...they'd rather show you a pack of broads acting like idiots over Ray J's ig'nant ass and faux reality dating shows....*sigh*......Thanks Blacksmith Records...I see what you guys are trying to do, I respect it highly and I'm riding with ya....even if the major corporations are doing everything possible to make music and video's like this disappear.

The central theme for "Black Hstory" is the lineage of our emcee's family tree's, broken down themselves through rhyme. I have to say tracks like this make me proud to be a Hip-Hop head and more specifically an L.A. Hip-Hop head. Each verse is magnetic and powerful images recurring throughout make a great visual w/o any huge effort. Hopefully A remix that features more great verses and artist's can be worked out...wouldn't it be great if we had like 50 verses for this joint?
