Cry Of The Streets
from A.L.I.A.S. Hosted by A.L.I.A.S.
"Cry of the Streets" is the 12th track on the album "The World Ain't Ready! Chapter I: Rise to Power" by A.L.I.A.S. This is the story of hip-hop music in its pure and uncorrupted original essence. This music was born as part of the culture of inner city youth beginning in the South Bronx and expanding outwards to the rest of New York City, the nation and abroad. Of course once the corporations recognized it as a money machine, they seized control of it by soliciting artists and finding new avenues to commercialize it for "mass appeal" thus perverting her truth. In this song we're merely presenting the story of hip-hop as a girl that's been kidnapped by the industry and like good soldiers, we must go to war to get her back and bring her back to her mother - the Streets!
