This video dropped a few days ago, but Rhymesayers just now shot it over, with this note from the Brother himself...

I'm glad to finally show yall the new video for "Good Lord" from the "Truth Is Here EP" that dropped a few weeks ago.

The song is about spirituality and how it works alongside music. I get criticized from both angles on this issue. Some religious people say my music is too crude or obscene. People who hate religion say I talk about it too much. My feeling is that, when done right, spirituality and art are one and the same. The particular faith or medium of art almost doesn't matter. That connection to each other is what we're seeking. "Something spiritual happens when them hands get to clappin'."

My good friend Rik Cordero shot the video at a community event we did in the historic Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Center in Harlem NY. This is the place where my hero, Malcolm X held his later meetings and was assassinated in 1965. If you pay attention, you'll see Popmaster Fable (Rock Steady Crew) and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (Tribe Called Quest) along with a host of prominent Muslim teachers and activists. Just wanted to show you how we get down from time to time.

If y'all ain't up on Ali, we recommend reading this profile we did a couple years ago after the release of his second LP.
