I got 2 $50 iTunes gift certificates for Christmas. It didn't take me long to make my first purchase. I bought the eyedollartree album by Blood of Abraham. I was inspired to listen to them because I like their song 99 Cent Lighter (featuring WILL.i.am of the black eyed peas) which I own on 12" vinyl.
I went to iTunes and checked out some of their other songs and I was impressed. I bought the entire album. It's old-school underground hip hop with stories from the streets. A slight "hey wake up", unity, political slant to the whole thing. Great production. The first video is kinda fun and silly on the exterior but the lyrics are deep. The second video is a little bit more intense and omnious. Check it out.
