The renowned New York-based Native Tongues crew has something brewing for the new year! Evitan (“native” spelled backwards), the new hip-hop duo featuring Andres “Dres” Titus of Black Sheep and Jarobi White of A Tribe Called Quest, have officially debuted the first single, “P.T.I. (Occupy Wall St.)”.
The track touches not only the specific happenings of the Occupy movement but also on the broader feelings of anger, uncertainty, and a desire to mobilize felt by young and old people across the country. “The 99% need to have not just a voice, but voices,” says Dres regarding what inspired them to write the song. “We need to have more voices that speak to our plight beyond what is given to us via the media.”
Wow Dres came back in full effect with his last LP and with this song, wow, staight on top of his game lyrically these days! Along with Jarobi this could be a Native Tongues classic!
Don’t know if I fuc with the “occupy Mvt” ( I be at work) but the track is nice.
