King Harris “Colors” (produced by Oh No) [audio]

NIGHTMARE ON WOLFF STREET ARTWORK (1)

Today, via an exclusive premiere with Ambrosiaforheads.com, King Harris and Oh No effectively bridge 1998 with 2016 by modernizing and paying homage to Ice-T’s classic west coast anthem “Colors,” but apply the title to a wider scope. The theme rap from the 1988 Dennis Hopper-directed film of the same name, “Colors” has always stood for a tour guide through the ganglands of Southern California. Almost 30 years later, Harris honors the formula—keeping the imagery strong and the chorus intact. Whereas Ice chronicled the bandana colors of the gangs (as portrayed in the film), King Harris opens the door to include the racial tensions plaguing cities, including the Ox’ and Oh No uses some of the Afrika Islam & Ice-produced elements from the Sire Records single.
