Watch: The music video for Lin-Manuel Miranda's 'Immigrants' from 'The Hamilton Mixtape'
Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda has released a powerful music video for "Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)" from his late 2016 album, The Hamilton Mixtape. The track features a worldly mix of recording artists: Somali-Canadian K'naan, Mexican-American Snow Tha Product, British-Pakistani Riz MC and Puerto Rican Residente.
Snow Tha Product raps some of the song's most evocative lyrics:
You claim Im stealing jobs thoughPeter Piper claimed he picked them, he just underpaid Pablo
But there ain't a paper trail when you living in the shadows
We're America's ghost writers, the credit's only borrowed
Its a matter of time before the checks all come
