As we're mixing this album there's a lot going on here in the US. Folks are in the streets protesting abuse of power by police. So many young people, particularly young blacks have lost their lives at the hands of police.
I know too many cops to believe that all police are racists, and I'm encouraged to see this issue coming to the light, because I also know too many blacks who have been unfairly arrested, harassed or badly beaten to think that this is not a real problem.
We need to celebrate the police who put their lives on the line to do their job and we need to shine a light on those who abuse their positions of authority.
“I Can’t Breathe” features African and American elements in a techno environment. It features the Gimbri once again, given to me as a gift from Morocco.
These protests across the country are, in a certain way, the next stop on the path to overcoming oppression. Through the power of cell phone cameras and the Internet, the world can see what African Americans have been saying for years; "things are better but we still have a long way to go". These images that people can watch over and over make it impossible to deny that there is more work to be done.
What do you get when you combine Smooth Jazz with Rap?
You get something very beautiful.
(And please don't hate on this song because it sounds pleasant and mellow. But at least wait until the rap comes in... because you might just like it.)
I know this is an old thread but I just posted this in the Chicago forum and thought I'd post it here too.
Modill put out 2 albums in the late 00's and then disappeared. Shame because Midnight Green is one of my top 5 hip hop albums of all time.
