Straight Coonin'

Dras [2007] Straight Coonin'

A few days ago, a guy that gave me a major help on my Pharoahe Monch discog, sent me this mixtape from his artist Dras, from Th3rd Eye Music.

Immortal Technique Discography Part 1

In case you've been living under a rock, you should know about Immortal Technique. If you don't here's some info from wikipedia: Most of his lyrics focus on socio-political issues. The views expressed in his lyrics are largely a mixture of left-wing political commentary on issues such as poverty, religion, and racism. His lyrics also express a belief in conspiracy theories (fans have mixed opinions about them), especially regarding the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attacks. He also focuses on the harsh realities of criminality in housing projects of New York City's slums. I'm gonna post his two albums and a popular internet bootleg which contains some of his off-album songs. Look out for part 2, similar to the P-Monch one.
