Stro calls for attention at the jump of K.I.N.G. (Keeping Ignorant Niggas Glorified), andfor good reason, this man has some thought-provoking things to say. In the video, the two New York emcees put light to their concerns with American society: stereotype-driven rap, materialism, prostitution, slanted media and corrupt police. They reference Malcolm X, Huey P. Newton, and Minister Louis Farrakhan in the piece.
The verses from Stro and Bishop Nehru are among the best of 2015, and they’re just a couple ’90s babies. It’s nice to see that New York is making moves. Stro preaches the following in his verse, as pedestrians walk down the street in expensive sneakers, chained at the ankles.
“See modern day Hip Hop is coons and dick thots
That club record tempo got us moving like robots
Ha, turn up, turn up, hit a nigga with the burner
If it don’t involve cash then it really don’t concern us
We diss dark skin women for anything whiter
Solange hit Hov, we mad ’cause he didn’t fight her
Some niggas only talk proper when they ’bout to fight ya
‘Yo, I really feel some type of way, like you’re getting me tight right now'”
