Coalmine Records has released ā€œLand 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 

ā€œThis is the most incredible track Iā€™ve heard in a while,ā€ Billy Danze says in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX. ā€œM-Phazes put the track together well. You could feel the passion in the production. Itā€™s almost as if heā€™s 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.

ā€œThey sent me the track and asked if Iā€™d jump on it,ā€ Danze says. ā€œI said, ā€˜Hell yeah.ā€™ And my Brownsville homies are on it too. It couldnā€™t be anything less then sick. Itā€™s an honor to represent my city through good music. This is definitely a Kings County anthem.ā€Ā 

ā€œLand of the Crooksā€ also features scratches from DJ Babu of Dilated Peoples. On the selection, Babu cuts up Jeru The Damajaā€™s lyrics regarding Brooklyn. ā€œLive in the land of the crooks,ā€ Damaja says. ā€œYes, Brooklynā€™s the borough.ā€ The line comes from ā€œD. Originalā€ off Jeruā€™s 1994 The Sun Rises In The East album.Ā 

ā€œLand of the Crooksā€ is also set to be included on Unearthed, a Coalmine Records compilation slated for a January 2014 release.Ā
