Hezekiah: “Fired Up!” f. Talib Kweli & Bahamadia

12:36 p.m. · May 27, 2010 · by Andrew Martin

I first heard this track from Philly-based rapper/producer Hezekiah sometime last week when he posted it on his tumblr page. I had trouble finding a proper rip, though, so I held off on posting and subsquently raving about the rugged, guitar-driven cut. That was, of course, until minutes ago when I saw that Hezekiah posted it to his YouTube account for streaming. "Fired Up!' would have been nice enough with just him on this killer beat, but he recruited Talib Kweli and Bahamadia for the track, too. And their guest verses, both of which are absolutely on point, will hopefully push this single past mere blog and website exposure, as this makes for a solid summer song.
