lyrics to the head:

I am calling out your name
in the dark as the wind swept
I think that we could inherit carats of gold, that have not been found yet
‘Cuz your a testament of God
Shaking the skies until there’s no thunder left
Peep game though
Keep all them griots outside of the poorhouse
The lifeblood is flowing in lanes of the tour route
I am calling out your name
Know that I mean it
I am calling to tell that this all is ours
And if we make a plan, we can take
All the lands and the dreams that they ever have stolen from us
Then remake
A new world in a self image that is true and robust
I am calling out your name so just answer me, 
I want your mind to be free.

Drawing from memory and community roots, the 10th album from rap innovator BUSDRIVER plays out like an ode to modern folk art via the act’s characteristically warped take on the world’s leading pop music: hiphop. Homespun and bursting with intention, “electricity is on our side” argues that the quintessential underground hiphop album is in fact the high art of the day.// A fluid understanding of electronic musics, jazz, hiphop and creative writing are once again minced into a unique configuration(underground social music) to achieve the aesthetic ends and off-kilter messaging exacted by the legendary BUSDRIVER.

Right before the Miracle is the standout collaboration between Driver and legendary Freestyle Fellowhip band, the Underground Railroad. Check out the video here__
