Blk & Blue explores the topic of mental illness in communities of color. Roberts’ work often spotlights contemporary social issues: by breaking down formal elements in his paintings, the artist creates compositions, which convey the complexities and tensions typically masked by his subjects’ physical appearance. Inspired by Picasso’s Blue Period, for this exhibition, Roberts represents the everyday misfortunes of the oppressed in a palette primarily composed of blues and grays. Like Picasso’s somber depictions of middle-class Spaniards upended by the Industrial Revolution, in this exhibition, Roberts ennobles his subjects while shining light on the societal conditions responsible for their hardship. In so doing, the artist presents a new, American iconography for a country ever-defined by color.

This soundtrack was Executive Produced by Malik Roberts and Composed By JA1DA

DO IT AGAIN

Ja1da, an American born recording artist, producer, and songwriter from Savannah, Georgia. His love for music began at a very young age, teaching himself to play piano. Soon thereafter, he expounded on his natural born creativity by writing poetry, short stories, and entering literary competitions. Ja1da attributes key factors from his childhood such as growing up in a single family home, the violence in his community as inspiration for his lyrics. His music is laced with honest admissions of his past and the aspirations of his bright future combined with genres of Alternative Rock, Trap, Classical, and Neo Soul sounds.  He believes that this new sound  of "ALT-TRAP" (alternative trap)-lifestyle of grinding and hustling daily to earn a living is something everyone does but with out violating the rights of others. These key factors combined with the life style of a street-prenuer "AKA" trapper turned positive is a inspiration into the sound of Ja1da.
