Another #BlackOctober instalment from Jarren Benton, "Lost Kings."

Funk Volume's Jarren Benton is going strong with these #BlackOctober weekly music releases. To quote the rapper, "you a bitch if you hatin' on this shit." For his third #BlackOctober drop, Jarren Benton gets some haunting soulful production from 8Track (once again, 8Track also produced last week's "Judge Mathis" if you missed it). While Benton is known for some weird ass rhymes, he keeps things serious on here, talking about social issues that continue to plague us.

It's a free download like all the #BlackOctober cuts. Expect another record from Benton next Wednesday as he leads up to a new EP later this year.

Quotable Lyrics

Niggas still waiting on God to sky dive
Like that's our only hope to stop these drive-bys
Ain't no action heroes, a bunch of misguided negros
ADT alarms, they don't mean no harm
And I'm guilty of it too, I profile niggas
Like um, what this nigga up to? Damn he lookin' shady
Is he casing my crib while I'm clutchin' on the 3.80?
Meanwhile he's just tryna find the local gymnasium
We assume the worse and we plantin' seeds in our cranium
