Often, rappers attempt to bridge the gap between genres – whether it’s rock to rap, rap to metal, or rap to electronic. Australian duo SMACKTOWN successfully combine all three genres and then some, showcasing tongue-twisting lyricism with heavy beats and straightforward, political ideals. Add a few extra buzzing rappers into the mix, and you have yourself the brand new single ‘Chelsea Grin’.
SMACKTOWN bridge the gap between Australia and America on their second single off the Powerless/Chelsea Grin EP by connecting with two artists from each country; from the U.S. Jarren Benton (Funk Volume) & Jeff Turner and from the land down under AntiMatter (of Devastator) & Matuse. Together, these double-time rappers team up for a politically driven Hardcore Hip-Hop posse cut with a metaphorical stance against religious organizations and corporate greed. The modern revolutionaries in the video, represented by those in the vendetta masks, give our political, corporate, and religious characters, a taste of their own medicine – money.
Taking the phrase “putting your money where your mouth is” to a whole new level (see the definition of a Chelsea Grin, if you’re still confused), the brand new music video is available for viewing now, exclusively via CraveOnline, here: http://www.craveonline.com/
