The Black Sunn & 810 - Ghost Town
Producer: Renaissance (of Green Street)
Album: United Division
Label: Unsigned
Particularly in today’s less-than-ideal job market, it’s not unusual to see urban areas fall into disrepair as employers bail and those who can afford it move away. Just ask Baltimore natives The Black Sunn & 810, whose latest collaborative single finds them shaking their heads at the Ghost Town their once-vital neighborhoods have begun. Renaissance of Don’t Look Down crew Green Street produces, pairing a a subdued percussion rhythm with wistful jazz-piano chords as the freestyle series alumni spit vivid depictions of inner-city decay: “Boarded-up homes replace neighborhoods where they once loved you / Now cops roam them same blocks to profile and cuff you / or gangbangers, so never roll less than two.” Despite the downbeat subject matter, the tone is more wistful than bleak, and the message is one well worth repeating: “We can’t get nowhere unless we work together.” For more fresh, thoughtful new material, check out Black Sunn and 810’s Booth-sponsored United Division LP, set to hit our front page for free download in late summer.

A good segment of listeners won't be able to connect with a song like this (raise your hand if you lived, or grew up in the burbs), but that doesnt mean you cannot appreciate what both emcees are saying. Well done, fellas.

I love the jazzy sound with the piano in the background. But it have a urban feel to it like a Northern version of OutKast.

What an incredible beat. The production is superb. There is something about jazzy beats that just draws me in. I could actually listen to this beat for hours. Both emcees did their thing They have a great chemistry and really compliment each other well.
