Chen Lo is 'a modern day griot' with a very interesting story to tell. Watch.
'Hip-Hop artist Chen Lo talks about his recently recorded remix of Jay Z's "Open Letter" and the reason behind it. Chen Lo explains his understanding of the 'Open Letter' song and how it relates to his international experience with Hillary Clinton, the State Department, CBS, Aljazeera English and the U.S. Government's use of Hip-Hop as a chess piece in its game of foreign affairs. Chen Lo also gives a viewpoint that only a select few Hip-Hop artists can address.'

If you visit HHAD regularly (AS YOU SHOULD) you know I enjoy what The Black Opera is doing from an artistic and music standpoint. Well this is the third post regarding the track "Queen of Hearts" featuring Mayer Hawthorne. First post was a download for the track, second regarded the video, and now I am posting the remix to "Queen of Hearts" by their labelmate ODDISEE. Be sure to peep the earlier posts to supply your TBO fix.
Not a fan of this record. Maybe, it has to do with the original recording featuring Lil Wayne's insensitive reference to civil right icon. Emmett Till.
