TRACK 3 • RAIN

Rain hits the moment when doubt tries to slow the journey. The storm, the mud, the cold, the weight of the road. I built this track to feel like pushing through it anyway. The rhythm stays low and steady. The message stays simple. Keep moving even when the skies do not.

The Rain

TRACK 5 • IRON RAILS

Iron Rails marks the moment the journey jumps forward. No more roads. No more walking. The train becomes the lifeline north. I built this track to feel like metal, motion, and hope mixed with fear. The rhythm hits like wheels on the tracks. Fast. Sharp. Focused. This is the sound of leaving the South for real.

TRACK 6 • HARLEM BOUND

Harlem Bound is the moment hope gets louder. The city waits at the end of the line, and the rhythm shifts from fear to focus. I built this track to feel like arrival energy even before the feet hit the ground. Fast breath. Bright lights. Heart beating strong. This is the sound of stepping into a new world.

Track 9: Dream in Red

Dream in Red is desire under pressure.
Low lights. Heavy smoke. Eyes watching.
This track lives on stage, frozen in a spotlight, heart racing while the room holds its breath.
Seduction and danger share the same tempo.
Beauty moves carefully here.

This is Harlem after midnight.
This is confidence wrapped in velvet and heat.

Dream in Red does not ask.
It commands.

Track 10: Snake Eyes

Snake Eyes is risk in real time. No backup plan. No exit. This is the moment before the deal goes bad.
The room goes quiet. Everyone watches your hands. The groove rolls forward like dice on wood.
Once they land, there is no taking it back. You win everything or you lose clean. Either way, you stand on it.
This track is a tribute to the greats IYKYK.

Ray’s Boom Boom Room is packed wall to wall.
Sweat in the air. Drums shaking the floor.

Bodies moving close.
Music louder than the room.
This is Harlem nightlife at full volume.
No rules. No pause.
Just rhythm and release.

Track 12: Renaissance Rhythm  
Renaissance Rhythm  
This track captures the moment Harlem ignited.  
Jazz became language.  Clubs became classrooms.  
Every horn, drum, and piano line carried coded freedom.  
Renaissance Rhythm is pride in motion.  
Black brilliance on full display.  No permission. No apology.  
Just creation that changed the world.

Harlem in the 1940s was not just music.  
It was survival, brilliance, rebellion, and invention happening in real time.  
Sounds were borrowed, copied, repackaged, and sold without credit.  
But the source could not be erased.  

LIBERATION ROAD is about movement, ownership, and memory.  
These are the sounds they tried to steal.  
This is where they came from.

TRACK 14: BACK FROM WAR

“Back From War” captures the moment after the noise stops. Soldiers return to Harlem carrying more than duffel bags, they carry memory, silence, and change. This track sits heavy and reflective, blending restraint, tension, and unresolved emotion. The war is over, but nothing is the same.

From Obá Mystik Book III: LIBERATION ROAD – THE SOUND THEY TRIED TO STEAL, this chapter marks the transition from survival to reckoning. The journey moves from movement and resistance into return, reflection, and the quiet weight of history following Black soldiers home.

TRACK 15: Bury My Blues

Bury My Blues is the quiet aftermath. This track lives in the space after the noise fades, when survival means carrying grief without ceremony. It is not about defeat. It is about endurance. The blues are not erased, they are laid to rest so the journey can continue.

From Obá Mystik Book III: LIBERATION ROAD – THE SOUND THEY TRIED TO STEAL.  
This album traces the journey from the South to New York, from labor and war to sound, identity, and ownership. Each track is a chapter in reclaiming a voice history tried to silence.

Bury My Blues

TRACK 16: I'll Give you a RACE RECORD

This track captures the moment when Black sound stopped being hidden and started being documented on our own terms. Race Records were more than vinyl, they were resistance, preservation, and proof of existence. This is the sound played behind closed doors, passed hand to hand, pressed without permission. Raw drums, blues soaked melodies, and Afro rooted rhythms collide as culture refuses to be erased.

From back rooms to phonographs, this track honors the voices they tried to bury and the music they could never steal.

TRACK 17: Tight Juke Joint

Tight Juke Joint brings the journey back to the floor. This track lives in sweat, close quarters, and raw rhythm. Low ceilings, packed bodies, stomping feet, and sound so loud it shakes the walls. This is where the music breathes without polish. No stage. No distance. Just drums, movement, and release.

This chapter captures the underground spaces where Black sound stayed alive, protected, and evolving long before it was welcomed anywhere else.

TRACK 19: MARCH TO THE ICON  

March to the Icon is the final walk up 125th Street.  
Not wandering.  Not escaping.  
This is the procession to the Apollo Theater.  
The stage where legends are made or broken.  

Feet hit pavement in rhythm.  
Brass cuts through the night.  
Drums echo off Harlem brick.  

This track represents arrival with purpose.  
The South is behind us.  
The war is survived.  
The sound is reclaimed.  

This is the moment before the curtain rises.  
All eyes forward.  
History waits.

Track 20: That Stolen Sound You Called Rock

This is the end of the road and the moment it all arrives.

That Stolen Sound You Called Rock stands center stage at the Apollo Theater, where every mile walked, every bruise taken, and every sound stolen finally speaks back. This track carries the pain, the survival, and the quiet victory of a people who were never supposed to make it this far.

The rhythm is heavy with history. The groove is inherited. The sound they tried to rename, erase, and profit from stands fully exposed under the lights.

This is not nostalgia. This is reclamation.  
A legend is created here.
