Icewater have just released the brand new video for “Animal” off their upcoming debut album Polluted Water. The song features the young bloods’ revered hip hop mentors: the honorable Raekwon and Inspectah Deck, both teachers from the Wu-Tang School. The School has been relatively quiet since their last Shaolin Showdown under the Iron Flag. The elders have been honing their hip hop skills and teaching them to new brothers who have joined the school in hopes that some day, their kung fu on the mic will be strong and unbeatable. Raekwon feels honored to present Icewater, a group of students who have impressed the Wu-Tang masters and are ready to present their style to the public. The emergence of Icewater from the hidden studios of Staten Island signals a revival of Shaolin Island hip hop. Donnie Cash pays homage to the Wu-Tang School when he says, “Anything coming off of the Island is gonna have that “W” on it. That’s where you get the Wu-Tang. We’re also the youth, the streets, the hood. Just like Dipset is in Harlem, we’ve got the movement of the island behind us.” ([More →])
