You don't have to praise us, just come out to the show and spread the music and spread the love."Ĭes Cru has been performing and releasing this type of lyrical hip-hop as a duo since 2009, and have been on Kansas City rapper Tech N9ne's label Strange Music, Inc. "I think that’s the wrong relationship, the relationship between us and the fans is that we put out dope music, and y’all agree to buy the music and come to the show. "You know, I rap really well, but I'm not a 'rap god,'" King said. King also said that the idea of a power relationship between rappers and fans is a problem in the industry. "It’s what’s on the radio, it's pushed and celebrated, but I'm looking for something that feeds my brain a little more." It's become poppy-hip-hop," said Viglione. "We play with some of the newer sounds and cadences, and there is a critique on the state of hip-hop." "There's this narrative, that lyrics in rap have taken a back seat, but there's always good music out there," said King. In addition to politics, lyrics on the new album also touch on the state of hip-hop music today. They block each other, and they can’t work together and make policy." Republicans and Democrats have been working against each other. Gridlock is the current state of politics and has been for many years.
"We talk about police violence and government. "There’s a lot of domestic and political stuff going on," said Viglione. Other songs on the album focus specifically on police brutality and the current partisan political climate. Even the name of the album is a reference to the collapse of the World Trade Center and the specialists who are appointed to help the nation through crises like that. While the artists have been working on the album for a while, they said that they drew inspiration from the presidential election and other events. We got everything from the Dakota Access Pipeline to immigration to politics, to the presidential election and domestic violence." We asked friends and associates of ours to talk about the sociopolitical environment on a global scale, and then people would just talk about what was on their minds. "The idea was to have little rants and mix them in with the piano solo, and it struck a nerve," said King. On Central Standard, the Kansas City-based rap duo told host Gina Kaufmann about the song from their new album Catastrophic Event Specialists. Over a menacing and melodic piano, several voices say things like "friends, family, coworkers - all undocumented" and "it's genocide." On Ces Cru's new song " Purge," Donnie "Godemis" King and Mike "Ubiquitous" Viglione get more political than they have ever been before.
