 Songs of Freedom
Or these from "Concrete Jungle", a song about life in a government housing project: "Concrete jungle, where the living is hardest/Man, you've got to do your best/No chains around my feet but I'm not free/I know I am bound here in captivity".
But there are other popular musicians who sing songs of freedom, one of the best of whom was the Jamaican reggae singer Bob Marley, who died in 1981.
But if this review has caused you to be intrigued about hearing some of Bob Marley's songs of freedom, I would recommend to you his albums "Natty Dread", which I consider to be his best recording, and "Legend", a greatest hits anthology that includes many of the songs referred to above.

 RollingStone.com: Done By The Forces Of Nature : Jungle Brothers : Review
On "Sunshine," rain is a metaphor for ignorance; the Jungle Brothers "fight back with a native dance/Sing my song and chant my chant." And for the length of an album, they make you believe such a thing is possible.
Although the jungle they come from is made out of concrete, the Brothers profess a unique brand of naturalism.
The Jungle Brothers are part of the Native Tongues, a triumvirate of innovative rap groups (including De la Soul and A Tribe Called Quest) united in the belief that by adopting progressive attitudes the rap movement has nothing to lose but its gold chains.

 Chungking Express - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chinese title means "Forest of Chungking", referring to the metaphoric concrete jungle of the city, as well as to Chungking Mansions in Tsim Sha Tsui, where much of the first part of the movie is set.
Also, because "California Dreamin'" by The Mamas and the Papas was Faye Wong's character's favourite song, it was played extensively as well, causing some viewers to find it repetitive and others to view it as a euphonious theme song.
Chungking Express (Traditional Chinese: 重慶森林; Simplified Chinese: 重庆森林; pinyin: Chóngqìng Sēnlín; literally "Chongqing forest") is a 1994 Hong Kong movie written and directed by Wong Kar-wai, starring Takeshi Kaneshiro, Brigitte Lin, Tony Leung and Faye Wong.

 Artist Profile - Jelleestone
In Toronto, that means neighbourhoods like Rexdale - or Doomstown, in hood-speak - a concrete jungle populated by highrise towers, lowrise housing complexes and lowdown playas.
A video for the song takes viewers to the corners of Toronto that are most often seen as horror stories on the late-night news: Rexdale, Jane and Finch, Regent Park, Flemingdon Park and the Jungle.
From the streets of New York, where rap was born, to the stoops of all the world's inner cities, hip hop is most at home in the places where people breathe and bleed the urban sagas painted by its lyrics.

 Ex-Husbands!
Originally hailing from the concrete jungle of New York City, the Ex-Husbands follow up their Tar Hut Records self-titled debut with "All Gussied Up," a brand new 14-song collection that compares to nothing.
This recording is as much a message to Luke Lewis and all the other fat cats in their corner offices down there in Hitsville as it is a message to all those other bands pretending to play country.
A recent article from the Nashville Scene about the state of country music found Luke Lewis, president of Mercury-Nashville Records observing that "flagging sales can be traced directly to country's lack of 'hip' credibility these days", and as a result, the music has lost a huge portion of its male audience.

 NZ Folk Song * Poi-E
Ngoi also said she likened the poi, which is like the fantail that flies through the forest, to Maori youth trying to find their way in the concrete jungle of the Pakeha.
This song was his way of giving courage and inspiration to confused young urban Maori.
When Ngoi died at Tokomaru Bay in 1985, she was revered for her unstinting advancement of the Maori language and culture and for her ideal of a bicultural nation in which Pakeha would help to ensure the survival of the Maori language.

 The Velvet Underground in New York, New York in the Velvet Underground PopMatters Music Feature
Before the Velvet Underground had achieved one iota of success, Reed writes in that unpublished 1966 essay about "the vast and vacuous, over-wrought concrete cardboard executive jungle of the East Coast" which acts as a glorious "stimulus for accomplishment".
"Heroin" is the most controversial and most often misunderstood song in the Velvet Underground catalog.
The key to understanding the Velvet Underground is to look past all the preconceptions and prejudices surrounding their legacy, both in terms of them as representatives of the evils of New York City as well as mere appendages of Andy Warhol's Factory crowd, and approaching the music on its own terms.

 Amazon.com: Music: Specials [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [ENHANCED]
You get silly lyrics in "Stupid Marriage," social rants in "Concrete Jungle" and "Monkey Man," and moving melodies addressing self-worth and tolerance of others in "It Doesn't Make It Alright." The upbeat tunes are sheer dance music, and the methodical tunes are mellowing.
Be it their own tunes or a cover, The Specials put a unique spin on their work that fingered who they were just a few seconds into each song.
I don't know if I would go as far to say The Specials were the greatest of the 80s Ska era, but I do think this debut work is the best over all Ska album I have heard.

 News & Reviews : Neville Staple: Special Skank
The song, "Concrete Jungle," became a personal anthem, with it's raw, yet musically expressed, street life scenes that mirrored my life in San Francisco's poor but clean ghetto.
From the opening soccer match sounding chant, to the tom tom drum beat, through the hard guitar lick and the intense vocals - one brit punk, one dread rock steady - you just knew you were hearing something special.
The grooves on each cut have that swing of ska, and the sure hand of mastery, reflective of the talents of the band and experience of the band leader.

 The Fatback Band : 14 Karat - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
For instance, "Concrete Jungle" has some unimaginative "life in the big city" lyrics but makes up for it with a unique, percussion-driven melody and "Lady Groove" fails to present a colorful character portrait that lives up to its intriguing title but makes up for it with an arresting, synthesizer-dominated melody.
However, that song is easily made up for by the killer synthesizer-based hooks of "Your Love Is Strange" and the sharp, jazzy instrumental stylings of "Chillin' Out." In short, 14 Karat is an album that will primarily appeal to Fatback's fans but is strong enough to provide plenty of diversion for those listeners.
14 Karat lacks the obvious singles of the album that preceded it, but it is stronger overall as an album.

 Juelz Santana: "Oh Yes" - Silver Chips Online
Santana tells the listener through a series of barks that he was taught to be a gangster "in the concrete jungle" as a young man, and the remainder of the album supports this statement.
Santana rhymes over a mellow piano and flute on "This Is Me." The song, in which Santana finally slows down his flow, is the first in which he brings his emotions to the table.
Santana's storytelling, creativity and cunning lyrics on the album prove that with proper direction and seamless production, he has the potential to be a force in the rap game.
