Annotation — Rap / Hip Hop Songs
East Coast Hip Hop artist, born Nathaniel Thomas Wilson on 20 July 1968 in Queens, New York, USA. The song "Cannon Fire" (Illstreet/Downlow # DL 6001-2) contained a small reference to Vietnam - again used as a metaphor for city violence: "I stand my ground and hold the fort down... it's like a time bomb you hit, Vietnam ta Saigon". He also released "The Realist" with Mobb Deep, which referenced the Vietnam War.
