Lawrence Arnell “Rage Against the Machine” ft. Fel Sweetenberg [audio]
As far as the Philly scene goes, few emcees can compare with veteran emcee Lawrence Arnell. A deadly entity that’s worked with everyone from Jedi Mind Tricks to Army of the Pharaohs, he’s been able to deliver a blend of hard hitting tracks and braggadocios bars that heads desperately crave for. Though the song doesn’t share its likeness with the 90’s rap rock band of the same name, “Rage Against The Machine,” which is both produced by and featuring fellow statesman Fel Sweetenberg, is no exception to his stellar catalogue. The joint showcases his devotion to the game and while other rapper’s are stuck competing with each other, Larry Legend is here to crush his enemies completely. “Rage Against the Machine” is featured as part of a recently released maxi-single alongside “Scared Money,” which is now available through all major digital retailers.
About Lawrence Arnell:
Singer/songwriter/rapper Lawrence Arnell was born and raised in the Francisville section of North Philly when Hip-Hop was a reflection and escape from the violent streets. This veteran emcee officially got his first professional start as a member of the group Deadly Snakes who were signed to Tommy Boy records with dates on the Lyricist Lounge Tour, placements on the soundtrack to Jet Li’s ‘Black Mask’ film, and a co-sign from Prince Paul. It was at the ‘All That’ open mic nights at Philly’s Footworks where L would meet and befriend long time collaborators Jedi Mind Tricks, Outerspace and QD, Nuthouse, and Chops among others, that would lead him to walk with Pharoahs. Mr. Arnell has been featured on Nuthouse’s 12″ Snap Your Neck 2 Dis, CAEN Project’s Ceasars’ ‘Vengence,’ King Syze’s ‘Syzemology,’ ‘Labor Union,’ ‘Collective Bargaining,’ and ‘Union Terminology’ LPs, Outerspaces’s ‘God’s Fury,’ Pacewon & Mr.Green’s ‘The Only Number That Matters Is Won,’ Vinnie Paz’s ‘Season of the Assassin’ and ‘Carry On Tradition,’ as well as the recently released and Top five iTunes selling In Death Reborn from AOTP. From the Footwork days to his recent collaborations, Lawrence Arnell has given hard-hitting, soulful music with no compromise.
