Toki Wright has breathed new life into Public Enemy‘s timeless anthem “By The Time I Get To Arizona.” This new version was created in response to a bill signed into law in the state of Arizona that states “all immigrants must carry documentation verifying their immigration status.” Police officers now have the authority to ask to see the information from any individual that is deemed “suspicious.” Essentially, a bill that legalizes racial profiling: if you look like an immigrant, you can be hauled off to jail. Toki’s scathing indictment pays due respect to the original classic, once again turning hip-hop into the true “CNN of the people.” Download the song for free, share it with friends, and check this link to learn about 5 Actions You Can Take Immediately Against SB 1070

Where can we hear said track? The song posted is “B. Dolan – Econony of Words (Bail It Out) (Evil Nine Remix)” not a Toki track.
noyz319, the track is now the right one.
the link to download the song seems broken, or i’m retarded.
“and trust when i say no shows in AZ till SB1070 is a gone” – Prometheus brown download it http://lnk.ms/8c84Y
okay, so maybe calling myself a potential retard was not functional phrasing, but when i right-click on the link and hit save-as, my computer wants to save a “firefox document” rather than an mp3 file. so either my computer is retarded or something else isn’t right. anyone else have the same problem?
Try the text link underneath the player.
Cats offering explanations should try their tactics out first. The wrong link is posted. The down arrow on the soundcloud player is grayed out, the “right click and save” link points to a download.html document that is not found, and the permalink just leads here.
The d/l is busted and I gotta hear this joint because the original is my all-time favourite Public Enemy number. So I hope it works soon!
Jesse,
I just clicked the ‘..download your free mp3′ twice to test. What browser/OS are you using. I’m on a Mac, so maybe that is it?
edit/ i’ll hook the soundcloud download up
i was using a pc, and it wasn’t working for me. But it did now, thanks!!
