Search - 4th25 :: Live from Iraq

Amazing

"This CD was recorded in a makeshift studio in Baghdad by real American soldiers fighting in Iraq. This is honest and genuine and it's some of the best rap I've heard in years. This is art as a reflection of life, and unfortunately for our troops in Iraq, life is tough. 50 Cent, Eminem, Ludacris, etc. are nothing but posers compared to 4th25.



All though it may be hard to find, buy this CD and you'll hear what being "hard" is all about. Not from soft millionaire cry-babies but from people who know what they are talking about.

"If you want to know what Iraq is really about, this CD is for you. Even if you're not a fan of rap, you are hearing tremendously important urban street poetry that puts posers like Snoop Dogg (and he's the best of the posers...) to shame.



Like the outstanding film, "Gunner Palace" (and this is art contemporary to "Palace"), 4th25 represents modern-day imagery of wars long past, Brady's Civil War Era photography, Hemingway's Great War, and Ernie Pyle's WWII.



Support his group. Buy this music. Spread the word.



It's as close as you can get to Baghdad without going there.

THIS IS REALITY

"I am an MP currently serving in Sadr City, Baghdad. This record is a true account of day to day, minute to minute life over here. I am not a hip-hop person, but this record is like an auto-biography. This is how we feel and what we go through. I can't recommend this one enough!!!"
