About Working Poor:

Working Poor is the debut single from the album The Last Days of Oakland by Fantastic Negrito, who went from busking on the streets of Oakland to winning the NPR Tiny Desk contest and having the #1 blues album and single on iTunes in 2015.

"Working Poor is the current state of our country. We have been abandoned by the ruling class. We have been reduced to a country of divisive slogans designed to keep us down. Working Poor is for the millions of people who work two and three jobs and still can't make ends meet. It's for everyone who woke up one day and couldn't afford to live in the cities they grew up in."

- Fantastic Negrito

About The Last Days of Oakland:

It means something to be from Oakland. The tiny city that birthed the Hells Angels, the first sports team in black, and America's oldest street dance has always been ground zero for counter culture. It is a place where violent crime, art, and swagger converge. It has always been diverse. It has always understood that danger and edge are critical ingredients for art and culture.

But Oakland is changing. As its neighbors, San Francisco and Silicon Valley, spill over with money, the economy in Oakland is soaring. Young entrepreneurs and aspiring artists are attracted by the city's perceived "renaissance." Oakland is becoming whiter and safer. Now Oakland is ground zero for the national discussion on gentrification.

Fantastic Negrito is an artist who bridges Oakland's future with its legendary past. He is a wounded veteran of the city once claimed by Black Panthers and hustlers. He is a vital voice in what the New York Times called "the hottest city in America." His album, The Last Days of Oakland, is about the fallout and rebirth that comes in the wake of a seismic shift. It is intensely relevant -- the way his city has always been.

02 Working Poor (Explicit)

"'About a Bird' is really a song about extreme narcissism, the danger of ego and self-importance. It is a song about mental illness as well. In the end, it is a desperate plea to be loved."

FANTASTIC NEGRITO

...is the incarnation of a musician who is reborn after going through a lot of awful shit. In fact, the name Fantastic Negrito represents his third rebirth, literally coming back from death this time. The narrative on this man is as important as the sound, because the narrative is the sound. Songs born from a long hard life channeled through black roots music. Slide guitar, drums, piano. Urgent, desperate, edgy. Fantastic Negrito is the story of a man who struggled to “make it”, who “got it”, who lost it all, and somehow managed to find his way back. These are singular songs by a true musician who writes and produces his own work. His songs are his fuel as he continues on the third comeback of his life, at a time when our world is in upheaval.
