DC:UL Demo Tracks

Just a quick post of some demo tracks I made a while ago.

Really could do with finding a better singer, as I am not that good!

Straight outta vision…

Well, it annoyed me, even though I like some of the content Netflix releases, that at such a sensitive time when black people are being shot by police in increasing numbers in the USA, that Netflix should hearken back to the 80’s Hip Hop band NWA.

NWA

It seems to me, that because for many black American’s, American justice is a failure. Not only that but the voices of intelligent change and rationalisation are not being heard load enough. Unfortunatly, the white controlled media outlets want to hold up a cathartic stereotype for black people to hark back to, but this stereotype is problematic for black people. It re-enforces the very prejudices white culture has about black people and violence, and serves only to validate the police’s destructive treatment of black people.

As black people we should have moved on past NWA and made a new narrative. Really, these guys were on the scene over 30 years ago!  But unfortunately the program in question is trending on Netflix…

Sometimes we’ve got to wake up, and realise we need something new. Let’s not perpetuate the past!
