Check out Ray Rife's "Art Of War".

Ray Rife samples the iconic piano chords from Radiohead's "Pyramid Song" on his new effort, letting the sample play out chopped and screwed before restructuring them in a driving boom-bap style.

That's only the first half, as the song turns over into a string-laden sample, as Rife incorporates dialogue and sound effects to create a narrative within the song.

The Long Island rapper is among the final four Heatseekers for this week.

Quotable Lyrics:
On the streets
And they different from the army
They been shootin' recrutin' soldiers
Well before Atari
