Popular L.A. underground emcee Born Allah returns back to form with his new single, “Hardcore Righteousness (Who is Allah’s Five Percent?)”. Dedicated to Father Allah & his Five Percent Nation. Born Allah goes hard on this V-Kush produced beat. This new single is a throwback, reminiscent of the golden era of Hip Hop when the hardcore righteous bars of Brand Nubian, Poor Righteous Teachers & Rakim was the norm.
The song is accompanied by a powerful video from the RCKLSS ABNDN production team and features classic pictures and footage of Allah, the founder of the 5% Nation and his early followers. In the song, Born Allah gives his harsh opinion of Jay-Z wearing the Universal Flag (recognized worldwide as a symbol of the 5% Nation) and the infamous moment when he passed the chain on to Jay Electronica at the Brooklyn Hip Hop festival in 2014.
The song & video is a great ode to a period in Hip Hop when rappers had more on their minds than strippers and the trap.
