Soul Khan ft. Akie Bermiss - Wellstone Music Video

Soul Khan - Wellstone

Producer: Deejay Element

Album: Wellstone EP

Label: Unsigned

In a historical moment fraught with inequality, war and oppression, we could use a few more politicians like Paul Wellstone, a U.S. Senator from the state of Minnesota whose legacy of genuine populism and grassroots action still resonates with civically-engaged idealists a decade after his tragic death in a 2002 plane crash. On the title track off his Booth-sponsored EP, Soul Khan channels the progressive icon as he surveys the state of the nation, and its effects on the rest of the globe. Backed by Deejay Element‘s tuneful boom-bap boardwork, sampled from ‘60s rock group The Grass Roots’ Live for Today (I see what he did there…), the Brown Bag All Star bemoans the injustices of U.S. policy, protesting with particular vehemence against our hypocrisy abroad: “And we still torturin’, damn it feels fraudulent / to lie that we’re more righteous than the people that we war against.” Brooklyn’s Akie Berniss ties the record together with a bold, anthemic hook. Does this video leave you craving more fresh, thought-provoking bangers? Good, because that’s exactly what you’ll find on Wellstone (the EP), available for free download now!

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11662	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Soul Khan has such a dynamic delivery... that he could rap about GermX hand sanitizer and it'd be powerful, impactful, and engaging. I am not kidding. But don't be fooled, this is record is as fresh (and clean, ha) as my analogy earlier in this feedback. Follow @DJBooth

DJ DISCourse DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 23	Rating: DJ DISCourse's Top Rated Songs Yup. SK can't miss. His social criticism is among the best in HipHop, hands down. Combine that with his ability to flow in various paces and really punctuate his rhymes. You can't escape his power to deliver a message...
