With the current immigration debate raging, the significantly acclaimed combination hip-hop group Karmacy adds a personal perspective to the immigration debate through the hit hip-hop / rap music video, "Blood Brothers." Delivered in a combination of the English and Gujarati languages with English subtitles, Blood Brothers illustrates the toughest decision for an immigrant: whether to remain in the home country out of a sense of duty, or to seek fortunes elsewhere; and that is one area of this immigration debate many are overlooking. It is not always ‘easy’ to seek out a new life. The video shot on location in Los Angeles, follows two brothers -- one who stays in India with their family out of a sense of duty, and the other who seeks and finds success and fortune in America. Blood Brothers received heavy rotation during the launch of the MTV Desi Network -- a concept targeting South Asian Americans, and was well received at the Asian American Film Festival in San Francisco this year. Tight hip-hop beats and rapid rap lyrics explain the popularity of this hip-hop video. Check it out. The video is available at Rukus Avenue and from the popular video site YouTube.
