Rise Ascend - Divine Compositions


Rise Ascend's newest LP is called "Divine Compositions." It's meant to raise awareness of the Falun Dafa movement and the persecution they face in China. This is interesting for me, I've seen Falun Gong awareness campaigns in Vancouver, London, and in New York City.

I found this on the best website for hip hop info: Hip Hop DX

It's pretty good, I'm not a huge fan of the generic "let's make a change" calls to action, I think if you aren't mentioning specific issues then it doesn't really mean anything. Youth of Today did it and it annoys me, as cool as they are. Rise Ascend does this too. The other thing I dislike about this is that he thinks that Falun Dafa can actually eradicate evil. It's as good as any other religion, meaning it won't do much.

The music in this is pretty cool, though I think the lyrics will ruin this for me and I won't listen to it too much after this.

Here's the download
