The 9th entry into the Heat Rock catalog dives deep into Memphis Soul / Funk territory with a pair of ‘stems’ remixes. The A-side features a track from Chicago’s Altered Tapes crew and their take on a West Coast Gangster Rap classic. And on the flip, Oakland’s own DJ Platurn banged out a drum break-heavy edit and homage to one of our favorite, early cut ‘n paste producers. Cop doubles for all your wax addiction needs!

FREEDOM FIGHTERS

I was born from a lot of different worlds, 
I was born from a lot of different places
so i embrace the earth what it's worth
cause i was born from a lot of different places
I was born from a lot of different worlds
I was born from a lot of different places
so i embrace the earth what it's worth
cause i was born from a lot of different places.

black slaves that were mixed with indian natives
and were raped by the white race to create this
shock wave of conquering colononization 
so that makes me a mix of so many nations
this story takes place in 1973
when my parents became political refugees
they wanted peace to be shared so equally
but instead they got imprisoned for their beliefs
assasinations were everyday occurences
yet they managed to conceive life in the middle of this
some chose to ignore some chose to raise fists
dictator ships vs political activists
my father he got executed 
and he still carries the bullets 
in his body to prove it
my mother she got persecuted
and i'm alive to say....freedom figthting.. it's never useless!!!

I was born from a lot of different worlds, 
I was born from a lot of different places
so i embrace the earth what it's worth
cause i was born from a lot of different places
I was born from a lot of different worlds
I was born from a lot of different places
so i embrace the earth what it's worth
cause i was born from a lot of different places

And you wonder what the moral of the story is
you can not complain if you dont change to squash the passivness
it's important we dont ignore the history
for the sake of the future generations that will come to be
this might be about the people who raised me
but believe when i say this is one story of so many
too many people be feeding from all the lies
the truth of the matter is they be looking through their tinted eyes
freedom fighters
put your lighters up
the struggle will continue
but we wont give up
freedom fighters
put your lighters up
the struggle will continue
but we wont give up

I was born from a lot of different worlds, 
I was born from a lot of different places
so i embrace the earth what it's worth
cause i was born from a lot of different places
I was born from a lot of different worlds
I was born from a lot of different places
so i embrace the earth what it's worth
cause i was born from a lot of different places

May i, may i take it back to the day of my birth
the truth is i almost didn't make it
a clenched fist, that is what came out first
oh shit you should've seen my parents faces
as freedom fighters they embraced the child they created
so far away from their homeland but they had made it
they were alive, the death they had just escaped
so yes they smiled so the pain would get replaced with LOVE
time to get replaced with love
time to get replaced with love
time to get replaced with love
LOVE
some peoples pockets are filled with cash
some peoples pockets are filled with trash
the fact is you never know how long it will last
so try to fill your heart instead....and do it fast

I was born from a lot of different worlds
I was born from a lot of different places
so i embrace the earth what it's worth
cause i was born from a lot of different places
I was born from a lot of different worlds
I was born from a lot of different places
so i embrace the earth what it's worth
cause i was born from a lot of different places

i tell stories from back then
fast forward to twothousandandseven
how much has really changed?
time to look around cause injustice remains the same
My friend, dont you think it's time that it ends?
too much blood has been spilled
too many brothas and sistas have been killed

freedom fighters
put your lighters up
the struggle will continue
but we wont give up
freedom fighters
put your lighters up
the struggle will continue
but we wont give up
freedom fighters
put your lighters up
the struggle will continue
but we wont give up
freedom fighters
put your lighters up
the struggle will continue
but we wont give up
