Curly Castro Feat. Has-Lo - Coal (Prod. By Georgia Anne Muldrow) - djbooth.net/index/tracks/review/curly-castro-they-call-me-castro
On Coal, the lead single off his Booth-hosted digital album Curly Castro took us all the way back to his school days to reflect on the psychological effects of coming up in a racially polarized environment. Stressful as they may have been, those formative years helped to forge him into the hardened hip-hop revolutionary we meet on follow-up single They Call Me Castro. Over Blueprint's grimy horn loops, the Flatbush repper revisits a few more of the factors behind his radicalization, from his incarceration at the age of 16 to his encounters with the music of Chuck D and the ideas of Bobby Seale. Philly-based director Joe Castro draws from the emcee's more recent past on the visual tip, documenting his involvement with the Occupy movement.
