Gandhi & DJ Halabi were some of the very first heads we featured on the website when launching, the first time round they had Eastern Promises for us to review and we're glad to have found out they dropped a sequel to the release titled Eastern Promises 2! Featuring a total of 9 tracks and available for free download, we had to check it out and show these heads some love.
Eastern Promises 2 starts off with One featuring laid back production where you'll hear Gandhi express his thoughts of Region and his chosen path while staying open minded to those around him. Master Builders expresses the inner thoughts of Gandhi from before his time and the on going development of humanity. Still Rising jumps straight into some cuts from Katt Williams (legend!), the skit introduces you to the subject matter of the track featuring a bombardment of rhymes going against the haters/fakers! Nur also jumps on the track to spit a verse alongside Gandhi, give it a listen below.
Remain Calm is the 4th track on the EP and features Cappo & Arafat laying down verses alongside Gandhi, complimenting each others rhymes with ease. Eye For An Eye features a quick skit from a generic BNP viewpoint, followed by some quick rhymes by Gandhi exposing these clowns, leading up to the next track flawlessly. Discrimination is a follow up from "Eye For An Eye" and the racist ideologies the media portrays of the Islamic faith, Gandhi proceeds to break it down alongside two features Sophia and Remacy. Check out the official video below.
Wait Your Turn jumps into a lively funky beat by Dj Halabi with Gandhi opening up the first verse going through the motions of what sets him side from the scene, joining him on the track emcees Keepa & Don Ciotti spit a verse complimenting the subject matter and the uplifting vibe the track builds through out. Authors has a beat that oozes self reflection and Gandhi takes that in his stride to get a little deeper than usual speaking on many personal issues, backed up with a verse from Billy Boi it's definitely one of our favorite tracks from the EP. Last track on the EP is titled True Story and features another banging beat from Dj Halabi and rhymes from Gandhi that jump from the page, capturing your imagination and telling you the tale of dysfunctional parents and the after man it causes.
