We're still taking requests on 20/20, and our man Tom let us know that we should very definitely look into playing this joint Prison Planet Anthem, masterminded by a UK rapper called, er, Psychosis Holocaust. File that with Immortal Technique under the Scary-Ass-Names folder. But the track. Holy. Shit. My eardrums just exploded, along with my brain. You'll dig this one.

When Torae first started rapping, he wanted three things: a beat from Primo, a beat from Pete Rock, and to be signed to Def Jam. Hey, two out of three ain't bad. His new album For The Record builds on the success of his Double Barrel project with Marco Polo, and if you like raw, heavy, gritty, no-f*ckin'-around street boom bap, then Torae is your guy.
