Tell Me Now

You go through your life blissfully unaware of your surroundings, 
Wake up, Wake up and can’t you see? Wake up Wake up you have a duty to your community
The poor were fighting the poor, now the poor can’t be bothered to fight no more,
Who’s going to stand up for us anymore?
You say it’s up to us, but you won’t lift a finger up
It’s a vicious cycle and it’s ripping us apart

Break Break Break down these walls, we want a revolution
Break Break Break down these walls, we want a revolution
Burn Burn Burn Burn these Bonds, Burns these institutions
Break Break Break down these walls, we want a revolution

The disappointment of a generation is outstanding, are we waiting for the subaltern to speak?
Or are we waiting for that final defeat, 
How much has society changed? Pointless figures without any names ,
it’s time to reveal  us and be more than ourselves
Let’s create a greater social wealth, increase our minds and better our health
Such a change is possible reach for it and you will receive

Break Break Break down these walls, we want a revolution
Break Break Break down these walls, we want a revolution
Burn Burn Burn Burn these Bonds, Burns these institutions
Break Break Break down these walls, we want a revolution

This is your decline
Break Break Break down these walls, we want a revolution
Break Break Break down these walls, we want a revolution
Burn Burn Burn Burn these Bonds, Burns these institutions
Break Break Break down these walls, we want a revolution

"Sun-Dried" is a collaboration w/ Austin-based indie duo Charlie Belle.
I met them back in 2015 out in Austin, TX. 5 years later (the other week) they reached out asking to collaborate on a track or remix. I heard their song "Shake You Off" & had to flip it, and they were down to make it an official collaboration. I hope to work with them again in the near future on another track. The tracks sound is inspired some of my fav lofi poppy hip hop songs from the 90's incl. Len's Steal My Sunshine, Cornershop's Brimful of Asha and Drinking in LA by Bran Van 3000. But also Powfu's Coffee for Your Head.

Sun-Dried (w/ Charlie Belle)

When international attention came to the sibling duo Charlie Belle in 2014, Jendayi and Gyasi Bonds were literally just kids. Sixteen and fourteen-years-old at the time, they were both already veterans of the Austin music scene (Austin City Limits, SXSW, Moody Theater) when their debut EP “Get To Know” blew up. Press came from NPR, Nylon, MTV, Vice, WIRED and others, and Jendayi and Gyasi appeared together on the SXSW edition of The Austin Chronicle. 

Jendayi and Gyasi are now 25 and 23 years old respectively, currently based in Brooklyn, NY. They were always plotting a return, and now they are back with a vengeance – the siblings are kicking into high gear with a stream of new singles and gigs all over, from their hometown of Austin to their new home in New York City. Those blown away by the catchiness and thoughtfulness of Charlie Belle’s debut can look forward to new music by young adults who have now been doing this for half their lives, and the music speaks for itself. What was already great is even better: pop music that’s keenly aware of the moment in a way that only Jendayi and Gyasi can speak to. There’s truly something extra special that only comes when siblings create pop songs like only siblings can.

Sharing impressive new, emerging, and under the radar artists, both here and via Spotify.
