2008-06-26 15:01:43 - NYOIL says 'It is important that ART inspire growth. I am an entertainer by trade but an Artist and Activist by nature, so I hope you are inspired after hearing this song and reading this short essay to think about the subjects presented and how they impact you.'

About 2 months ago legendary hip hop front man Chuck D of the illustrious hip hop / rap group Public Enemy appeared on Hot 97's morning show and when asked who are some of the artist he was listening to; who were some of the artist holding up the tradition he cited controversial hip hop MC NYOIL as one of

a very short list. That immediately sent shockwaves throughout the industry as it validated the hard work that NYOIL and his Team have been working on for these last 2 years.

NYOIL'S Manager YZ (another legendary official MC "Tower of Power", "I'm Thinking of a master plan" and SOO much more to his credit) reached out to Chuck to see if doing a song on the re-release of NYOIL's album would be possible. BabyGrande had agreed to release the original album but requested some new songs to make this a new product for the consumer. So being under the gun in terms of time and resources, the legendary hip hop front man Chuck D agreed immediately and went so far as to shift his schedule around to accommodate doing the song immediately to help NYOIL and his team meet their deadline.

The result is a track titled ‘Soldier'. The track will be on NYOIL's forthcoming album ‘HoodTREASON'. The 2 cd deluxe edition which will be available July 8th on PEM./ BabyGrande Records.

NYOIL would like to tell you about how it came to be and what it means to him to have legendary Chuck D appear on his album.
