1 - Sun Zoo - New Pirates (featuring DJ HDL)

Thanks to Free Albums Galore for hipping me to Sun Zoo in the first place and thanks to Sun Zoo for approaching me about being included at the same time that I was planning on approaching him to use New Pirates. Securing this track as the album opener worked out beautifully as it helped me choose the title from among the 20 or so choices that I had previously come up with and was having a difficult time deciding on.

A fierce hip-hop banger that flies in the face of all that’s wack in the world of mainstream hip-hop these days. A refreshing modern sound that also remains true to classic hip-hop of the golden era. Lyrically, it’s as if the song was made for this compilation. A fever-pitched critique of the mainstream music industry’s many flaws.
