LIVE FROM IRAQ -------------- (2 may 2006) The 4th25, or the last quarter, is the collective name of a group of American combat troops whose stories are collected on the rap album Live From Iraq. The album is a confused, angry affair. This is a diary from the battlefield by the men not only dying, but also doing the killing. The group is led by Sergeant Neal Saunders (Big Neal) who talks here bluntly and honestly about the reality of the frontline soldier. Big Neal is a soldier doing what American soldiers do best, protecting America’s interests. For him it is not about Iraq, it is about America serving itself. http://fi.oneworld.net/link/gotoarticle/addhit/132035/6891/78332 From: SixDegrees magazine http://www.6d.fi
