The Burnerz - "Cops Hate Kidz"
Zumbi of Zion I & The ARE of The Trackmasters are The Burnerz. This song dissects the tension between the police and the public, highlighted by several recent events in Zumbi's hometown of Oakland. Here's Zumbi on the song: "[Cops Hate Kidz] is written as a response to the murder of Oscar Grant by a Bart Police Officer, as well as the murder of four Oakland officers last week. The Burnerz feel that the tragedies that we are witnessing can be attributed to the long history of police brutality experienced in the black and brown communities.":
