Askari X
"Oakland Streets" [Slow Motion]

This man made major noise about 4 years ago when he dropped a song called Ward Of The State... The song was incredible..but what it more potent was the fact that Asakari was locked up at the time. He was probably one of the first political rappers from the Bay to have legitimacy amongst those who dwelled in the hood. Askari has always been down... His new release is just as potent...On his six song ep entitled Message To A Black Man, this is perhaps my favorite... I believe it has him not only dropping a bomb ass rap, but also has him singing vocals.. The song is dope..simply dope...and even if you didn't like his other cuts, just hearing this would be well worth your loot.
