Odessa Kane – Olmec Mask (the intro)
This reminds me vaguely of that Jay ElecHannukah bit from “Exhibit C” in the sense that he’s reaching out to connect with many different peoples–Filipinos/Pilipinos, Mexicans, Black Americans, Muslims. The way he switches back and forth between English and Spanish rhymes is similar to Jay Elec throwing that string of Arabic (that was Arabic, right?) in his rhyme. Of course, “Olmec Mask” is much more militant in both content and sound, like a Malcolm X counterpart to the more MLK-ish “Exhibit C.”
The Cuetes & Balisongs EP supposedly came out on October 30 but there are so far only two songs. Guess we’ll have to keep waiting.
Reading be fun though:
