Strange Famous emcee B. Dolan has come together with The DJBooth to bring listeners his latest album, House of Bees Vol 2. The project finds the Providence, R.I. rhymesayer combining the raw honesty of 2008’s The Failure and the bombast of 2010’s Fallen House, Sunken City in 13 original cuts and two bonus tracks. Included are Booth-approved leaks “Film the Police,” “King Bee,” “100 Bars for SFR” and “Still Here.” Joining Dolan on the guest tip throughout House of Bees Vol 2 are Toki Wright, Jasiri X, Metermaids and Epic Beard Men partner-in-rhyme Sage Francis. All beats come courtesy of Buddy Peace, Reanimator and B. Dolan.

B. Dolan – “House Of Bees Vol. 2″

“HOUSE OF BEES VOL. 2″ drops June 12th Dummies.

B. DOLAN’s “FILM THE POLICE” pays tribute to N.W.A.’s infamous “F*ck the Police,” serving as a call to action for the digitized media movement while responding to the recent explosion of police brutality all across the world.

This free MP3, courtesy of STRANGE FAMOUS RECORDS, features a reconstruction of Dr. Dre’s original beat, brilliantly reanimated by UK producer BUDDY PEACE. Label CEO, SAGE FRANCIS, opens the song by picking up the gavel where Dr. Dre left it 23 years ago, introducing a blistering, true-to-style flip of Ice Cube’s original verse by SFR cornerstone, B. Dolan. TOKI WRIGHT (Rhymesayers Entertainment) follows up by stepping into the shoes of MC Ren, penning the people’s struggle against cops as a case of “Goliath Vs. a bigger giant.” Finally, Jasiri X (Pittsburgh rapper/activist) rounds out the track by filling in for Eazy-E, reminding us that police brutality disproportionately affects poor people of color.

With the Occupy Movement bringing various forms of injustice to the forefront of people’s consciousness, “Film the Police” is a reminder that cops have been a continued and increasingly militarized presence in public streets. Thanks to the widespread use of smartphones and video cameras, along with the popularity of social networks such as Twitter and Facebook, the power of the media has been put back into the people’s hands as they document the injustices perpetrated by those who have sworn to serve and protect them.
