Tom Morello The Atlas Underground

the hungry mouths and burning streets] while the bombs fall at our feet?" Distilling anger and frustration, the rappers turn out the most pointed and socially relevant tracks. Atlanta double-threat and Dungeon Family brothers Killer Mike and Big Boi join Bassnectar on the rabid "Rabbit's Revenge," which shines a light on police brutality and the black lives violently taken across the United States. Alongside producer Carl Restivo and Run the Jewels affiliate Boots, Chicago MC Vic Mensa delivers the defiant "We Don't Need You," which rallies against a broken system rife with inequality, violence, and lies. Wu-Tang Clan's RZA and GZA even make an appearance, joining Herobust on the pro-proletariat closer that urges "Rise...we are many, they are few." Elsewhere, Knife Party deftly fuses Morello's wah-wah guitar effects with towering drops on "Battle Sirens," while Restivo takes an unused Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave riff and twists it into a juicy, industrial-edged blues jam. Frustrated, hungry, and full of rage, The Atlas Underground is a rallying cry set against an inventive and propulsive backdrop that inspires a physical response as much as thoughtful action. ~ Neil Z.
