Authentic hip-hop is in the building! Sneaking under the radar, N.O.R.E., who now goes by the name P.A.P.I., teams up with golden era producer extraordinaire Large Professor to drop a video for their cut “Built Pyramids”.
If you’re sick and tired of the same old recycled B.S. then you need to plug your ears firmly in to this tight little creation. Complete with horns, “Looking At The Front Door” [Main Source] sample, and disgusting drum arrangement, this boom bap number is exactly what the hip-hop heads have been craving. Taken from his upcoming Student of the Game album, this is a gem by any standards.
The video, shot in black and white with a blue tint, sees N.O.R.E. showcase Queens, New York as well as spit about his LeFrak hood. Name dropping famous ball players from Queens, the video also sees a scene where Mobb Deep‘s Prodigy squares up to N.O.R.E. only to then hug it out advertising the fact that the two have made peace after their much publicised beef.
Peep the video below and prepare to fall in love with hip-hop all over again.
