Happy Halloween from Hi Stakes!

Thanks to the many stem contributors, including Fourstones, Fireproof Babies, and vo1k1. I also used samples, of course, from Night of the Living Dead. I also used a Freesound sample from Opossum (couldn’t find it for some reason on the sample search).

I asked my boy, dirtyB, to re-record two old verses we used along time ago in a “Hip-Hop is Dead” remix. I had to slow the vocals way down, hope it works for yall.

Lyrics (dirtyB)

It ain’t the death of hip hop that got me up all night /
It’s the fact that rap attacks in the afterlife /
We read funeral rites and cry hip-hop is dead /
While the pop industry got their teeth in our head /
These zombie motherfuckers with their MTV, BET, listenin to MP3s /
Killin motherfuckers for reps and gold chains /
Wood grain stained with fresh young brains /
While some bourgie-ass hater claimin they “hood mayne” /
We never understood how in the game Fame /
Could feed on the flesh drive the best insane /
Take rebel heroes and maintain the old-same /
Cash in on the freedom that we came to proclaim.

The record industry shouts I love the dirty south /
Suddenly he gets muffled with my shotgun in his mouth /
But his cash is infectious, got us twitchin like angel dust /
After 28 days I can’t help but feel the rage /
So I bust shots and toss molotovs /
So I bust shots and toss molotovs
