Rock, Hip-Hop, Supergroup
Can't believe I haven't posted this yet. Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave) and Boots Riley (The Coup) have teamed up to inaugurate this self-titled debut from Street Sweeper Social Club. Quite possibly the most revolutionary partnership in recent times, SSSC combines the hard hitting groves of Tom Morello with the anti-bourgeois, punk hip-hop lyrics of Boots Riley. In an interview with Consequence Of Sound, an online music blog, Morello described the album as "revolutionary party jams. It's got huge steamroller riffs combined with depth, charge, funk, while Boots unloads clip after clip of incendiary rhymes rich with satire and venom."
Boots added: "this is a time when the working class is being fleeced left and right. More families will be homeless and more people will be jobless. They'll need something to listen to on their iPods while storming Wall Street."
So yeah... 'nuff said.
