G Verse 2 by Ben Shorr Verse 3 by Sadat X Boogie Blind, world-renowned DJ & producer, a Vestax World Champion, member of legendary hip-hop group the X-Ecutioners, and DJ at Shade 45 SXM, blends classical melody with trap drums for this uniquely contemporary composition. Rappers Sadat X (of Brand Nubian) and Edo. G (Ed OG & Da Bulldogs, Special Teamz) each deliver their signature pull-no-punches style, and silvr-tongued Ben Shorr matches that intensity with flare and charisma. "Riot Gear" sees our narrators hit the streets to capture the essence of a socially conscious world where oppression must be met with demonstration as a key to survival. Ultimately, we present to you a project that captures the plight of today in this relentless call to action. youtube.com/c/benshorr - subscribe to my channel! https://open.spotify.com/artist/1ev7dNzd6lYZeyRnuhaGtp - follow on spotify! https://music.apple.com/us/artist/ben-shorr/1109204211 - listen on Apple Music! https://www.instagram.com/therealbenshorr/ - follow on instagram! #hiphop #hiphopmusic #hiphopdance #undergroundhiphop #consciousrap #boombap #musicvideo #musicvideos #new #newmusic #newmusicalert #newmusicvideo #rap #lyrics #lyricsvideo #lyricvideo #lyricvideos #benny #benshorr #bennyshorr #dance #dancevideo #dancemusic #dancing #afrobeatsdance #afrobeat #afrobeats #videography #music #viral #viralvideo #viralvideos #viraldance #viraldancevideo #viraldancevideos #dancinginpublic #worlddance #riotgear #sadatx #boogieblind #edog #love #benny #ohbenny #benshorr #youtube #youtubemusic #youtubemusicplaylist #hiphopplaylist #rapmusic #rapper #rappers #songwriter #songwriters #songwriting #freestyle #spotify #spotifyplaylist #spotifymusic #independent #independentmusic #original #riotgear #portland #portlandmaine #maine #oldport #newyork #newyorkcity #newyorkhiphop #philly #chicago #losangeles #unitedstates #subscribe #subscribers #follow #followme #followus #instagram #tiktok #tiktokvideo #tiktokvideos #tiktokmusic #fyp #officialvideo #officialmusicvideo #newrelease #listen #listening #listentothis #apple #applemusic #tidal #deezer #hiphop50 #share #like #likes #likeandsubscribe #likesharesubscribe
