Uptown XO - Occupy DC
Artist: Uptown XO
Producer: AB the Pro
Album: The Color Grey
Label: Mello Music Group
Occupy D.C.‘s tents may be gone from MacPherson Park but, in America’s capital and beyond, activists continue work towards social justice and economic equality. On the latest song release off his forthcoming street album, Uptown XO offers a poetic response to the movement and the socioeconomic injustices which inspired it, envisioning an alternate reality in which the masses use their knowledge as a weapon against the powers that be. AB the Pro provides a lightly-funky, sampled beat to back the Diamond District emcee’s thought-provoking bars, and director Ralph Lorenzo illustrates his words with visceral, black-and-white visuals. Watch for forthcoming mixtape The Color Gray October 1st, paving the way for the winter arrival of studio album Colour de Grey via Mello Music Group.

Our friends over at Mello Music Group promised us that we'd love this new song/video before we even had the chance to watch or listen to it. And... they were right.

This was pretty fly. I like the 70's infused production and Uptown XO has a nice flow on this one. I'll bump this a few times.

When XO dropped this one off - the concept blew me away. Great symbolism (not just the books but milk as well); great production; ill flow; ill message.
