Saga – ‘Make a Choice’, Produced by Marco Polo is taken from the free EP ‘From Out of the Shadows’.
We all make choices everyday that dictate the course of our lives. From the company we keep, the food we ingest, and the career paths we follow, our lives are the very culmination of our choices. Although some choices we make are of greater spiritual consequence than others, there’s no denying the pandemonium that occurs on both a global and personal level, as a result of war. On “Make a Choice,” which serves as the final visual installment taken from Saga’s debut release, ‘From Out of the Shadows,’ the Brooklyn native examines the choice that a citizen makes to enlist in the U.S. Army as a result of 9/11, and the difficulty in returning to civilian life that ensues. Directed by Fred Focus with a dual narrative that intersect’s the veteran’s story, with that of a fast food customer who’s life is cut short by his own choices, we learn that the decisions that we make that often benefit the larger whole, end up enabling corporate greed and government agenda, all while making ourselves the victim. Saga’s, ‘From Out of the Shadows’ EP is out now for free download, courtesy of AudioMack.

Having produced one third of Nas’ generation-defining Illmatic, Large Professor’s place on the pantheon of hip-hop heavyweights is already etched in stone. When you add in his groundbreaking debut as a member of Main Source — or the fact that he has collaborated with luminaries like Pete Rock, A Tribe Called Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, Mobb Deep, Masta Ace, and Big Daddy Kane — it’s crystal clear that the man’s influence towers high above the history of the hip hop.
With Fat Beats Records’ release of Re:Living on June 9, 2015, Large Professor builds on his already impressive discography with an entirely self-produced record that delivers all the crisp drums, razor-sharp scratches, and innovative uprock grooves that define his signature sound. “I’m moving forward,” Large says, “But I went back to an earlier formula. With this project I feel like it’s the closest that I take it back to that Main Source style.”
Featuring Roc Marciano, Inspectah Deck, Cormega, G-Wiz, Fortune, and Lord Jamar, Re:Living shines a spotlight on New York’s best voices from the golden era to today. But above all, Large Professor lets his production do the talking — and with a legacy like his, beats speak louder than words.
