GENSU DEAN & WISE INTELLIGENT – GAME OF DEATH [ALBUM STREAM]
Gensu Dean and Wise Intelligent drop off their collaborative album Game of Death. But let the album’s description give you all the reasons why you need to stream this album right now.
Rooted in Universal Science, the album takes dead aim at mediocre, dumbed down, manufactured rap while treating Music as the weapon it is. This is cultural warfare bridging the gap from Roxanne & Biz Markie to Jay Electronica & Erykah Badu. Bending time & space, Gensu & Wise take listeners through history with amazingly wide-eyed clarity. With statements as straight-forward as “Your shit aint Hiphop if it’s corporate” there is no missing the message of self-determination. This is the type of liberation that starts with your mind and is more about what you shed than what you add on. Somebody say Amen.
