Muja Messiah ft. Brother Ali & Boots Riley (The Coup)- Pocket Full of Slave Owners-video



Minneapolis Muja Messiah recruits Rhymesayer Brother Ali & Boots Riley of The Coup for "Pocket Full of Slave Owners", off his recent God Kissed It The Devil Missed It, produced by Mike The Martyr. Anonymous also approves of Muja Messiah & I Self Devine's "It Goes Down" video documenting police brutality.

"Muja Messiah's God Kissed It, The Devil Missed It is the meanest, most vital, and best record to come out of Minneapolis this year. Produced in its entirety by Mike the Martyr, God Kissed It is politically charged and benefits from Muja's unerring charisma.
In the new video for "Pocket Full of Slave Owners", he shares screen time with fellow Minneapolis stalwart Brother Ali and The Coup's Boots Riley. The video--filmed in the Bay Area--is a Technicolor reminder of the systemic racism that has us watching the news and arguing with our extended family members this week. Muja raps by a ledge, because he's close to it."- Paul Thompson
