New Toki Wright - "State of Emergency"

Download: Toki Wright - "State of Emergency"

From the man himself:

Never before has this generation been at more of a critical point than now...the present day. War and Peace. Poverty and Gluttony. Enslavement and Freedom. Each measure of the spectrum entangled in the ultimate fight for power. Obtaining justice and equality are no easy tasks, our forefathers and mothers have proven this to be true. May this surge of energy be the catalyst for global understanding. In our struggle let us not forget the trials and tribulations of the great many who have walked along the hazardous path. Recognize history. Prepare yourself for the future. We are in a STATE OF EMERGENCY!

- Toki Wright

So Toki Wright thinks that martial law is about to go down? Probably not. There's a definite sense of foreboding though, whether its a W. sample about ethics (ha ha), to the minor-key piano lines, to Wright's furious flow and lyrics. Strangely, the track is very reminiscent of Eminem's work, albeit from a purely musical prospective. One strange thing about this leak. The curse words are edited. What the deuce is up with that?

Listen to "State of Emergency", from Wright's upcoming debut album A Different Mirror, at the top of the post.
