Ever since the release of Soul Khan‘s latest EP, Pursuance, the DJBooth Freestyle Alum has unleashed a fury of truth-infused tracks free of fabrication and fear. Following his soulful trip through Someone’s Pocket, Khan drives you down death row with the eye-opener, Mr. Governor. Off top, the emcee enlists Akie Bermiss for the hook, whose plea to state officials for his life brings motion to a lifeless world whose judgment only fashions more murder: “They are killing me tonight….they are murdering me tonight/Mr. Governor, we discovered a/body of evidence, please don’t cover us/in a black mask and make us/ turn out the light/...” Over the organs and vocal samples, Khan remembers Troy Davis on the Audible Doctor production, making this stand out single a worthy addition to any debate on whether the death penalty is ethical. After this, I want to know what else the emcee has on his mind. If you do to, Pursuance is available for purchase via Khan’s BandCamp. Now…meditate on that.

I really like the beat and the sample/loop in the background. Good board-work by Audible Doctor. I don't really like Soul Khan's flow on this track. Chorus is a bit annoying too. Just OK for me since I probably won't give this a rewind anytime soon.

this is a sick track. the flow is smooth.. vocals well produced.. there are a few odd samples of pianos and something that sounds like a high pitched clav that don't sit exactly well in the mix (for me that is) although they cut through nicely.. maybe re-eq... love the message hes sending out.. overall a great track with solid feel and good soul..

ANything, ANYTHING with an organ has my intention. Soul Khan is on my most wanted & watched list this month, he is doing amazing things with hip-hop. Can I just say this EP is shaping up to be a classic. Like this track. Everything just works, from the insane prod to the real rhyming. I like the hook alot too.
