Coalmine Records has released āLand Of The Crooks,ā a track byĀ Billy Danze, Sean Price and Maffew Ragazino. The song is a Brooklyn, New York anthem, meant to be released to coincide with the start of the Brooklyn Netsā season.Ā
āThis is the most incredible track Iāve heard in a while,ā Billy Danze says in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX. āM-Phazes put the track together well. You could feel the passion in the production. Itās almost as if heās from Brooklyn himself. Slapping drums, thick bass line and sick hook.ā
As soon as Danze heard the track, he says he knew he needed to record his vocals on it.
āThey sent me the track and asked if Iād jump on it,ā Danze says. āI said, āHell yeah.ā And my Brownsville homies are on it too. It couldnāt be anything less then sick. Itās an honor to represent my city through good music. This is definitely a Kings County anthem.āĀ
āLand of the Crooksā also features scratches from DJ Babu of Dilated Peoples. On the selection, Babu cuts up Jeru The Damajaās lyrics regarding Brooklyn. āLive in the land of the crooks,ā Damaja says. āYes, Brooklynās the borough.ā The line comes from āD. Originalā off Jeruās 1994 The Sun Rises In The East album.Ā
āLand of the Crooksā is also set to be included on Unearthed, a Coalmine Records compilation slated for a January 2014 release.Ā
