whats ur life expectancy?
do u  expect to live a life of  poverty?
rent bills bleed u dry like a cut artery
hardly can call it livin, 
we don't  celebrate thanksgiving
 or independence day
we don't never thank the pigs
 cuz the people they betray
when those fuckers build a prison 
they gotta fill it up
your mirrors quick to tell ya 
who it be  that gets locked  up

thats why I  uh..

pigs  see us as a threat 
pigs see us as thieves 
nothing but a target for their brutality
To the crooked kops 
killing our people needlessly
 the people keep track of every dirty deed 
we know who you are  
and we know who we be 
 we embody resistance 
every time that we breathe  
we hold in our chests every mothers grief
for the babies they lost,
 the constant terror they keep
of kops ignoring their conscience
 and acting like sheep 
just “doing ur job” corrupts your humanity  
so don't approach me, unless ya wanna get checked 
ya can't flash enough badges to get my  respect  
I don't need to be served, I don't need to protected
hopin the next Dorner gets the strategy perfected

Faro Z - "Break Beat Fanatics" feat, M.C. K~Swift

Who knew that some of the most exciting Afro-funk records of all time were actually made in the small West African country of Benin? Once Analog Africa released the first African Scream Contest in 2008, the proof was there for all to hear; gut-busting yelps, lethally well-drilled horn sections and irresistibly insistent rhythms added up to a record that took you into its own space with the same electrifying sureness as any favourite blues or soul or funk or punk sampler you might care to mention.

Ten years on, intrepid crate-digger Samy Ben Rejeb unveils a new treasure-trove of Vodoun-inspired Afrobeat heavy funk crossover greatness. Right from the laceratingly raw guitar fanfare which kicks off Les Sympathics’ pile-driving opener, it’s clear that African Scream Contest II is going to be every bit as joyous a voyage of discovery as its predecessor. And just as you’re trying to get off the canvas after this one-punch knock out, an irresistible Afro-ska romp with a more than subliminal echo of the Batman theme puts you right back there. Ignace De Souza and the Melody Aces’ “Asaw Fofor" would’ve been a killer instrumental but once you’ve factored in the improbably-rich-to-the-point-of-being-Nat-King-Cole-influenced lead vocal, it’s a total revelation. 

The screaming does not stop there, in fact it’s only just beginning. But the strange thing about African Scream Contest II’s celebration of unfettered Beninese creativity is that it would not have been possible without the assistance of a musician who had been trained by the Russian secret services to "find and destroy" enemies of the country’s (then) Marxist-Leninist president Mathieu Kerekou.
Already familiar to fans of the first African Scream Contest as a mainstay of ruthlessly disciplined police band Les Volcans de la Capitale, Lokonon Andre vanished in a cloud of dust at Ben Redjeb’s behest with a list of names and some petrol money, only to return a few days later having miraculously tracked down every single name he’d been given. The source of this Afrobeat bounty-hunter’s impressive people-finding skills - his training with the KGB - highlights the tension between encroaching authoritarian politics and fearless expressions of personal creative freedom which is the back-story of so much great African music of the 60s and 70s. Happily, in this instance, Lokonon was tracking the artists down to offer them licensing deals, rather than to arrest them.
Where some purveyors of vintage African sounds seem to be strip-mining the continent’s musical heritage with no less rapacious intent than the mining companies and colonial authorities who previously extracted its mineral wealth, Samy Ben Redjeb’s determination to track this amazing music to its human sources pays huge karmic dividends. Like every other Analog Africa release, African Scream Contest II is illuminated by meticulously researched text and effortlessly fashion-forward photography supplied by the artists themselves. Looming large - alongside Lokonon Andre - in the cast of biopic-worthy characters to emerge from this seductive tropical miasma is visionary space-nerd Bernard Dohounso, who laid the foundations for Benin’s vinyl predominance by importing and assembling the record players that would play the products of his Bond villain-acronymed pressing plant SATEL, a company that would revolutionise the music industry in the whole region.

The scene documented here couldn’t have been born anywhere else but in Benin, and the prime reason for that was Vodoun. It’s one of the world’s most complex religions, involving the worship of some 250 divinities, where each divinity has its own specific set of rhythms, and the bands introduced on the African Scream Contest series and other compilations from the region were no less diverse than that army of different Gods.

Homeboy Sandman connects with Deca to create a jazzy, lyrically rich new collaboration, “All Because of You (Infatuated Duke).” The track is pure ear candy, bursting with standout turns of phrase and immensely sharp rhyme patterns. Here’s hoping “All Because of You,” is the start of something bigger from these two.
