Rabbi Darkside is a local NYC hip-hop artist who has really impressed me this year with his “Darkside of 2009” mixtape and new collaboration album with Hired Gun and Zajazza called “Skillz To Take Brazil” – which I finally got around to checking out this weekend. Thank Hip Hop is a new track he put together in response to recent attacks on hip-hop based educational programs. The track below is the original, produced by Lotus, but the download includes a couple versions of the track – included one dope remix featuring a bunch of local cats, such as Mista Mayday, Hired Gun, Angel D, Appl Juic, Farbeon, Rabbi D, Doron Lev, Dyalekt & Caits Meissner.
