Sometimes the progression of music is so beautiful. It’s also a little crazy to finally hear from Cody Chesnutt again with his future past soul. And don’t forget to get dirty Boot Camp Click style with the new Sean Price, Seeeeeeean P. Veteran MC Craig G gets best album title of the week though, “Ramblings of an Angry Old Man.” But don’t get it twisted, he’s still tight.

The Coup is arguably the best political rap group out, imagine Dead Prez with a touch of humor that adds levity to Boots Riley’s grim messages. With the addition of a live band, they keep your head bobbing.

So it is with much pleasure that I share with you the song of the week “The Guillotine” from the yet to be released “Sorry to Bother You” (which Boots has this to say about it, “It’s as if Rick James, The Pixies, Ohio Players, The Clash, Salman Rushdie, Richard Pryor, and me went in the studio drunk off Sailor Jerry Rum (don’t do it) and made a baby named “Sorry To Bother You”).

Warning contains the lyrics:
“They got the TV- we got the truth
They own the judges and we got the proof
We got hella people- they got helicopters
They got the bombs and we got the, we got the
We got the guillotine
We got the guillotine, you better run”

Enjoy the Wizard of Oz homage.

As an added bonus The Coup has a Kickstarter campaign for a tour bus with some amazing rewards for donations, such as producing your album or spitting sixteen bars on your album or having dinner or a drink with you.
