Brooklyn’s T.H.E.M. Recordings unveil their latest signee Innocent?, who kicks off the album campaign for his forthcoming Love It Or Hate It LP, with the visuals for the Roc Marciano assisted single “Time For Change.” Production for the single is supplied by France’s Alterbeats crew who blend triumphant horn stabs and hard drums alongside DJ Modesty‘s scratch chorus that fuses quotables from M.O.P., and A.G.
