Annotation — Rap / Hip Hop Songs
East Coast Hip Hop duo, formed in 1986 in New York, USA, and disbanded in 1992. The song "Run for Cover" (MCA Records # 6416) is another example of a hip hop group using Vietnam as a metaphor for conflict and violence: "my brother, run for cover because I'm armed, my brain contains a bomb, as if I escaped from Vietnam".
