Arizona Gonna Get knocked Out (the "Lowrider" version)

Jump'en OFFa first hand prejudicial run-ins with the Arizona Five 0, laying down tracks in June of 2010 and bringing together a world class ensemble of musicians, Xaime Casillas presents the "Low Rider" version combining footage directed by Patrick Perez, and the "Low rider" footage" directed by Casillas.

"Arizona Gonna Get knocked out" reaches out to the immigrants of America while calling out the Politicians responsible or influential in writing Senate Bill 1070, the controversial anti-immigrant bill recently signed by Arizona governor Jan Brewer.




The video features recording artist Zul and Malverde, delivering smoothly crafted verses both in english and spanish, calling out the anger and frustration felt by the Latino community across the country resulting from the Arizona controversy. The video also features politically relevant art work by award winning nationally syndicated political cartoonists Lalo Alcaraz, from the daily comic strip "La Cucaracha".

Talented Improvisation comedian Samson Crouppen is seen terrorizing immigrants and their children all over Los Angeles, in a "sponge Bob esque" Arizona get-up, until the mystic "Luchador" played by Ceasar Lomeli and his posse of Lowriders, show up and handle the situation. Family collector cars came from all around the surrounding Los Angeles area including the "West Side Originals Car Club" for the shoot. The video features footage crossing the border into Arizona and a "white knuckled" illegal U turn, right back into California.

This anti-Arizona anthem with it's driving beat and bass line puts a definite Latino twist on the original inspiration, "Mama Said Knock You Out" By Rap legend LL Cool J. Also featured on the track is a guitar solo by Bay Area's "cholo with the Solo's" Dave Shul from Michael Franti's Spearhead band and two more West Side guitar mashers Syzco X Lopez and Terry Gomez adding more flavor to the new re-mix, which also includes DJ Boxy Dee on the scratch attack. The song debut on KPFK July 9th, 2010 on "The Pocho Hour of Power", rolling into a National NPR Story by Betto Arcos talking about different artist and their recordings on this hot immigration issue, spearheaded by the the very successful "Sound strike" movement.
