“City of God’s Son”: A Beat Cinematic

Author: EL3G | Filed under: OkiZoo Blog

What’s good Readership, I mentioned in last weeks The Boomin’ System to be on the lookout for City of God’s Son… well here it is.

“City of God’s Son” is an experimental hip-hop opera starring Nas, Jay Z, Ghostface, Biggie Smalls, Raekwon, Samuel Jackson, Delroy Lindo, and Laurence Fishburne. It is a crime drama/coming of age tale of three fictitious characters growing up in a crime ridden city in a jungle. This project explores the icon of the gangster in modern media, and weaves musical history and gangster film history into an operatic music based story of brotherhood and survival. An homage to 90’s New York hip-hop, “City of God’s Son” is the redefinition of the remix. Featuring legendary soul singer Joe Bataan.

I recommend that you listen to this beat cinematic at night, and turn the volume up. This project was created in an attempt to give the blind an opportunity at a movie experience. It definitely gives you that feel, the dialogue from Joe Baatan as well as the music tells a story that must be heard. Check below for some discussion on the movie by a few blind musicians & the download for this beat cinematic from Kenzo Digital…
