A couple of updates for today... first is a brand new video from William Cooper (@WILLIAM_COOPER_) called "Something Ain't Right". The track is produced by BP (@BP11701) and features a verse from "a Queensbridge legend" and former Firm addition Nature (@TheRealNature). For those who don't know, William Cooper is a rapper out of Newark, New Jersey and is probably best known for his work as part of the Black Market Militia (Killah Priest, Tragedy Khadafi, William Cooper, Timbo King, Hell Razah). He took his name from a conspiracy theorist who died in the 90's. The track is from his God's Will LP and was also featured in 2015 on Nature's "Ashtray Effect 3" mixtape. Cooper and Nature have collaborated previously on the 2010 track and video for "Bring it Back".
The video is... interesting. It takes aim at the Patriot Act and starts off with a scene where the FBI is interrogating / holding a suspect presumingly with no evidence or charges being pressed. Nature gets called into William Cooper / Black Market Militia / GemStarr HQ as they concoct a plan to fight the power and rescue the unidentified prisoner being held against his will. Nature's verse is ill but doesn't quite fully align with the premise of the track (or William Cooper's spoken "lesson" at the end of the video) but it doesn't detract at all from the overall dopeness of the concept and the video. Can't say I really mind the Patriot Act, this is a new era and I'm down (for now) with the government taking some liberties as they're trying to keep us safe. Overall this is an ill track and has been getting picked up by mad blogs including EgoTripLand, 2DopeBoyz, Illuminati2G, and HipHopDX. Peep the full video below.
