Chain of Command

This track was born from a real headline: The Pentagon 15-6 investigation into the Minab school strike, questions of accountability from AI targeting to command authority. Muckraker's hip-hop production gives the story the weight of a front-page exclusive — journalism you can feel in your chest. Lines like "Who said this target's valid based on last year's sat" anchor the track in specifics that generic coverage misses. The mood — angry, confrontational, demanding answers — reflects the emotional reality behind the numbers. Every Majik's Studio news track exists to make you feel the story, not just read it.
