City Of God’s Son Trailer
Ok now, this shit looks pretty dope. This dude Kenzo has composed a 60 minute narrative made up entirely of various vocal samples.
I’ll let him tell it:
“City of God’s Son” is an experimental hip-hop opera starring Nas, Jay Z, Ghostface, Biggie Smalls, Raekwon, Samuel Jackson, Delroy Lindo, and Laurence Fishburne. It is a crime drama/coming of age tale of three fictitious characters growing up in a crime ridden mythical city in a jungle. This project explores the icon of the gangster in modern media, and weaves musical history and gangster film history into an operatic music based story of brotherhood and survival. An homage to 90’s New York hip-hop, “City of God’s Son” is the redefinition of the remix. Featuring legendary soul singer Joe Bataan. A sound film/hip hop opera by Kenzo Digital. To download the entire project for FREE and for more info please visit:
I haven’t had a chance to peep the whole thing yet, but I will definitely be checking it out later on the strength of that trailer.
Spotted via The Illustrious BFred. Hit the jump for the promo poster.

^Of course. All them industry niggas is just tryin’ to stuff their meats in her. They don’t give a fuck.

January 13th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
I’d pick a movie about Nas, i know more about Hov’s early years then i do Nas. I could appreciate the revelation a lot more.
January 13th, 2009 at 5:52 pm

but i do know that this better not be wack. i WILL make it my business to leave 500 comments on that page saying how wack it is before i hit the bed. and not even because of the product, but because of the weak follow through on what seems like a dope idea…

So i’m wondering what album or where that “Bk shit” with H-O & MC Lyte will be placed since it wasn’t on the Notorious OST tracklist. I need to know and i also need the tagless version.
January 13th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
2nd & 3rd track: same, 7 1/2-8. i like the electric company flip. now if it at least stays on this same level tracks-wise, we may have a decent piece of work here…
January 13th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
note that the way amanda diva said “raped by internet geeks” it was almost like she liked it as in “thass the blicka that raped me”

January 13th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
4th track with ghost: same, 7 1/2-8. 5th with nas: 7-7 1/2. nothing really jump out yet. i take it back about “if it stays the same track-wise”… might get corny if things don’t change…

^^^^ i’ll fault him if there isn’t a nahright inspired track in the midst, bump that. this is the time when cats can hit up pro tools in their bedroom and drop a joint in your inbox the next day. not that i’d see that as him sucking our kneecaps, but it wouldn’t hurt (no pun intended)…
