The Super Flight Chron Brothers Embark On Emergency Powers: The World Tour

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Green Streets) - Emergency Powers is a record about the forks in the road. It's a record about fear and love, freedom and prison, drugs, alcohol and more dugs. It's a record about wars; the ones far away, the ones at home and the wars we fight with ourselves. Emergency Powers is good times and hard times, crackers and nigg*&, color coded terrorist threats and girls who smell like candy, federal sentencing guidelines and defaulted student loans. But Emergency Powers is not just a hip-hop record, it's a self-contained utility package for negro youth. The jewel case makes a great rolling surface for whoever is riding shotgun and in a pinch, the reverse side of the disc can be used to reflect sunlight into a cop's eyes. Not that the Flight Brothers would ever condone someone using their album for anything other than entertainment, let alone disarming police officers who are attempting to execute an illegal search of your vehicle on the shoulder of I-95. And if you are ever in court and try to blame the Flight Brothers, be forewarned, their lawyers advertise on late-night TV.

Billy Woods and Priviledge are members of east-coast super group The Reavers, but also form the Super Chron Flight Brothers. Emergency Powers is their debut record, but the two brothers have been successfully collaborating for five years. This album alone was almost two years in the making, a carefully crafted concept record brimming with lyricism, wit and originality. Politically charged, cannabis scented and featuring some of the genre's finest talents, Emergency Powers, the world tour is an anomaly in today's music. A record that makes you laugh but expects you to listen, demands that you think and punches holes in your assumptions. To paraphrase the great Mr. Chapelle "They should have never let these nig&&as have money!"
