At 30 years old, I am just old enough to remember the movie (and great idea for a soundtrack) Judgement Night. This was released when I was just entering junior high, a period when I would transition from a kid who listened to rap music to a kid who listened to punk and eventually hardcore. I honestly never owned this soundtrack, but the concept of it and a few of the songs on it were always great to me. Where else can you hear Ice-T and Slayer perform a medley of Exploited songs? I will also say that I think bringing Seattle's own Mudhoney and Sir Mix A Lot on to do the song "Freak Momma" was sheer genius. Anyway, the movie itself isn't that great either. I usually find myself watching it almost every time it is on tv though. It has a younger Cuba Gooding Jr. and Jeremy Piven, as well as a pretty sweet appearance by Everlast. Other than that, the best part of Judgement Night was probably the CONCEPT of the soundtrack, mixing heavy music with rap music. It was a concept that had not really been done all that much, outside of Walk This Way and Ice-T's group Body Count. Loud Records tried something like this a few years later, having heavy bands come in and re-record a few hip-hop classics. That didn't work out all that well. Then, Terror even did a remix for Jedi Mind Tricks. This was decent, but still not the hip-hop/hardcore collaboration that I have been looking for since I was a teenager.
When I first heard that Sean Price and Cold World would be doing a track together, I got really excited. Cold World have been fusing hip-hop samples with their Hardcore sound for years now. Not only that, but they have one of the best guitar sounds in hardcore (in my opinion of course). To top it off, their drummer did a great remix of John Blaze a few years back. Sean Price has been slaying mics with a variety of Duck Down groups over the years. He also killed it on a few Jedi Mind Tricks records. I saw him with Black Moon in Toronto in 2005. I fell asleep when he played here in 2009 unfortunately. I was not sleeping on this record though, I ordered it from The White Glove Group. I was happy to see it arrive with my mail on Record Store Day. I was even happier to see that the artwork was not only in 3D, but came with accompanying glasses to view said artwork. Now to the music, like the last Cold World it is slightly more rock than their first record. Sean Price does most of the vocals on here, rapping a little bit faster than usual to go along with the music. The video is pretty basic, makes me think it would be pretty entertaining to see Sean Price perform this song with Cold World at a big hardcore festival. I hope the reception is positive enough for this song and video for Cold World to release more like it in the future.
