Subject: Rap Experts needed, political lyrics

Written By: andbrainstoo on 02/09/06 at 3:20 am

I heard this song playing in a coffee shop I frequent.

It started off with a monologue, delivered like a political speech (man has a slight accent - that caught my attention) the monologue is sort of a rant against the US govt about the politics of drug policy in Latin america. 

Then the rap begins (sounds like a typical young rapper - voice and style isn't particularly recognizable to me, so I don't think he is a big mainstream musician)... It starts off with something like  "i'm standing on the bolivian border. . ."  then goes on about the people's struggles, the coca plant, etc. . .

the refrain uses highland pipes in the background.

I know its a long shot - but any help would be awesome.

Cheers
Monica

It's probably not getting played by mainstream America radio.
I haven't heard it, sorry.

...uh, I could have told you that. Totally.
Because otherwise my whole 'rap expert' image would become instantly void.
Which is why I so could have told you that.
Totally.
