After time spent in Barcelona and Arizona, rapper/producer Tim Holland – better known as Sole – has settled in Denver and enmeshed himself in the local Occupy movement. In advance of his upcoming solo album, A Ruthless Criticism of Everything Existing (sans Skyrider Band), Holland has released a fresh political proclamation called “No Presidents,” a co-opted version of Jay-Z‘s “Dead Presidents.” It adds to Sole’s collection of strategically rewritten songs for his third mixtape and gives a pertinent sample of the not-so-timorous record to be released later this fall.
