2DopeBoyz Exclusive Leak: AWKWORD – “Imperialism” ft. C-Rayz Walz & REKS (prod. Jonny Lupo)

FREE #MUSICMONDAY: #FreeRayzWalz

Recently, AWKWORD linked up with C-Rayz Walz, REKS and 2dopeboyz.com for an exlusive leak promoting the forthcoming World View album. With production from Moldova’s Jonny Lupo, the track bangs.

C-Rayz called it “one of the top-five songs I’ve ever spilled my soul onto.” He predicted “this shit will make Uncle Sam piss his tight blue bubblegum jeans.” And dopeboy SHAKE agrees, as seen below.

From 2dopeboyz.com

With C-Rayz currently locked up*, Awkword thought it was a good time to let loose of this anti-imperialist anthem. I agree, this shit is dope. 2dbz premiere off Awk’s upcoming album, World View. Featuring guest emcees from coast to coast and production from 15+ nations and every continent.

* While the song is free, the artists are asking that you show support for C-Rayz by donating to his Paypal (suncycle7[at]gmail[dot]com) or reaching out to his family and management via Twitter.

Cold Heat Live at SOBs with Rahzel, Torae, Sadat X, Large Professor, Craig G, Poison Pen, Pack FM, AWKWORD, more

On Wednesday, May 12, 2010, the Hip Hop Community came out in full force to support Jak Danielz & Johnny Walker, the emcee-producer duo from Queens, NY, known as Cold Heat.

AWKWORD was in the spot to kick it with his homies JAK D & JAY W, as well as Sadat X, Craig G, Poison Pen, Pack FM, Nems, Swave Sevah and others. Large Professor was there. DJ JS-1 was there. Torae and Brown Bag AllStars were there. It was hip hop — “new” and “old” — at its gritty, grimy best. The place was packed. And Photographer Dave Gray (a.k.a. Voice1) was there to document it all.

Below are the flix. The video footage is coming soon. But before you do anything, click here to cop the new album from Cold Heat, “Life Behind Bars”, for only $8.99 at Fat Beats.
