New York rapper Grafh is built of a certain cloth where not only do raw lyrics have to be hitting harder than a nutcracker on a summer day but they have to be rooted in something real. In his latest video, he's joined by Detroit's Royce Da 5'9" as they take turns firing off punchline after punchline over a jazzy beat from DJ Green Lantern.

In an email, Grafh explained the inspiration for the song: "The idea behind Royce and I making 'Agenda' is to bring the power back to the artists. Collectively, we and the people decide what’s hot, not some placement slots."

"Agenda" comes off of Oracle III which was released in March this year.
