“My 16’s free’em, I’m Hip Hop’s Abe Lincoln.”
Rapping. Rapping. Rapping. Rapping. That’s what you’ll get from Joell Ortiz on “Battle Cry”. There are no hooks and no breaks, as Ortiz maneuvers his way through this guitar heavy, face scrunching track as he weaves through references to figures such as Ronald Regan, Che Guevarra, and Mayor Dickens.
The video was directed by Jay Rodriguez and Rock Davis for Itchy House Films.
