The press release regarding Project Lionheart‘s The Art of Resistance (Special Edition) describes the Seattle natives’ first Booth feature, Heart of a Lion as “...a mission statement about being badass,” and, to be honest, I could pretty much stop right there. A DJBooth track review tends to run longer than one sentence, though, so I’ll continue. Presented here in remixed form, the track finds frontman Caleb Cunningham and West Coast underground mainstay/Slaughterhouse member Crooked I joining forces to assert their bad-assery and vent their fury at industry shysters. Cunningham handles production duties as well, crafting an ominous, piano/synth-driven instrumental with the help of guitarist TJ Berry and bassist Jerrod Keith. Topped off with a fittingly ferocious, rough-hewn sung hook, this track is sure to win praise from fans of innovative rock-rap concoctions. Featuring remixed and remastered versions of each track off the group’s debut full-length, as well as four brand new tracks, TAoR: SE is set to hit stores next Tuesday, Oct 6.

I've never been a fan of forced rock-rap concoctions, but Project Lionheart know exactly what they are doing. And who better to feature on this remix that the versatile Crooked I?

Caleb reminds me a bit of a Mike Shinoda. Works for me!

TALENTED!!!!!! All LIVE musicians?!?!? WOW. A Crooked I co-sign doesn't hurt either. The flow is effortless, and seems to stay fluid even though the topic is pretty rough.

Will DEF keep my eye out for more. Nicely done...

I'm all for rap/rock music! As long as it's well done... this is. The beat is nice, rapping was good also, the bassist did his thing, but I wanna hear more guitar if you're a rock influenced rap group.

@$arah: yeah, they reminded me of Linkin Park days too, but with a more rap oriented sound... ;)

Man... Crooked I... DAMN! He's just GREAT!!! GOAT material!

3.5*, but I'll round up cuz I wanna hear more.

Man I LOVE ROCK!!!! SO THIS IS A FIVE STAR TRACK TO ME!!!! I've never heard of Project Lionheart before but they are ill. The production from Caleb was superb. I'm a big fan of rap/rock collaborative music. Two great genres coming together for complete FIRE! Crooked I was such a great choice for this song. Let a lyrical undergroung beast blaze the track! I liked the first verse too though. But yeah, Crooked shut it down at the end like I was expecting him to. I haven't heard the original but I might check it out.
