Fly Gypsy ft. Nas, 2Pac, & David James - "Imagination" - Listen Here
Hip-hop duo Fly Gypsy, comprised of producer Alexei and emcee Kowboy Kom, drop a comprehensive track from their new work, The Vodka And Rum Mixtape, entitled "Imagination." The song conjures images of John Lennon's "Imagine," as this is a politically charged message with a more contemporary focus: the modern day black male in the post-Barack Obama election era. With a catchy hook that features Kom's soulful and delicate voice, Alexei serves up the perfect compliment with Tupac's verse from the Nas's "Thugz Mansion." Between the nods to Obama, MLK, and Malcolm X, and the use of two of hip-hop's most glorified emcees, Fly Gypsy certainly knows how to put together an all-inclusive track. Be sure to check out the powerful message behind "Imagination" as well as the rest of The Vodka And Rum Mixtape, available everywhere via Fly Gypsy's own Fly Gypsy Music.
