GRIFFEN - "Economik Splendor"

Economik Splendor is the 3rd release from the upcoming GRIFFEN project, "REANIMATED" produced and mixed entirely by BIONIK.

As a respected Hip-Hop artist who helped influence the cultural landscape in Chicago, Griffen has witnessed the rise of “Drill” music first hand. Where some conveniently default to the attitude of blaming Chicago artists for the area’s increasing violence, he takes a markedly different approach. His latest track, “Economik Splendor” makes no bones about pointing fingers squarely in the direction of the banking industry, media outlets, and even US Presidents. “Shoutout to Ronald Reagan, I really gotta thank him, This ‘War on Drugs’ is recreating plantations”.
Economik Splendor is steeped in cynicism: It stands as a reverse-guilty verdict from the streets, naming who some may see as the beneficiaries of society’s excess. “I'm with judges in Pennsylvania, I give ‘em paper, They give me kids-for-cash, I reward bad behavior.”
