Elemental Zazen - "Handcuffs" (Music Video)
Revolutionary hip-hop with a demand for real political justice, not just impeachment: "Throw your motherfu&@#!ng hands up / if you want to see the president in handcuffs!" The son of international school teachers, Elemental Zazen was born in the US and raised in Al Taif (Saudi Arabia) and Beijing (China). Despite growing up in vastly different countries, Zazen saw a similar pattern of injustice everywhere he called home. Unwilling to accept a system that produces inhumane poverty and opulent wealth side-by-side, Elemental Zazen focused his fury into his 2008 album The Glass Should Be Full.
