Ice T with a twist of metal
Body Count has always been a political band, and they lean into it extra with the release of their latest single, “Bum-Rush.”
“Body Count” were born of a day when hip-hop was the soundtrack of the streets, brought to life by Bloods, Crips and gang bangers who lived and died by a code of street justice today’s reality stars and internet wannabes can’t begin to fathom. It wasn’t the sound of middle class American kids playing dress-up and feeling fashionable. And heavy metal? It wasn’t pretty and clean for mainstream America to swallow like a watered down shot with your favorite spray of sugary sweet soda as a chaser. Metal was about long hair, middle fingers and a vocal indifference to societal norms. Maybe we can blame Body Count for how far we’ve fallen, after they united metal and hip-hop like napalm, politicians took note and launched careers around warning labels and lyrical witch hunts.
“Another fast moving Body Count track continuing my attempt to wake people up”
