Brooklyn based MC/songwriter/producer Conquest (Jason Andre Roberts) releases the video & single for “The Machinist” off his 2012 album “Radical Departure” available on iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, etc. Quest’s latest track features pulsating boom-bap style production from the U.K.’s Kwesi Beats & formidable cuts & scratches from California based DJ Aktual.
With a title partly inspired by the 2004 motion picture of the same name starring Christian Bale, “The Machinist” finds Conquest detailing his fight against ‘the ungodly machine’ that targets our society, from random acts of terror to the idolatry & passiveness that exists in the modern church & the “sub-genre” of Christian hip hop. The visual was shot & directed in New Jersey by Righteouz Knight for Holycore Visualz.
