Cape Town, Western Cape, 25 September 2017

Linkris The Genius & YesPlsndThnkYou releases their first single off their new collaborative SWRD² project.

50 Shades of Brown

As a tribute to South Africa’s Heritage month, 50 Shades of Brown is a song that strives to celebrate the diversity, beauty and colorfulness of all Southern Africans, specifically the Coloured people of Southern Africa. The Coloured community of Southern Africa has roots that stems from almost all of the nations and tribes of the world; their gene pool contains DNA strains from Indigenous African Tribes, India, Native America, Asia, Europe, Madagascar and many other places. As a result of this hybrid genetics, the Coloured people have extremely unique ways of doing things; from their food, dress, language, physical attributes and more is all interestingly unique. This uniqueness, when compared to other African tribes, the notion is always brought-up that Coloureds do not have a heritage or a culture but this notion could not be further from the truth!

50 Shades of brown tells the listener that you are beautifull and unique and that your uniqueness should be celebrated, regardless of your skin texture or shade.

“There’s 50 shades of brown from the Cape to Namibia”

FOR POWER

The coronavirus has rapidly spread across the world, with South Africa joining the top ten countries with most COVID19 cases. According to Health Minister Zweli Mkhize (on 16th July) there are now over 300 000 positive cases, with the total number of deaths standing at 4 669.

All of this is occurring within the context of a global neoliberal hegemony, where public healthcare has become increasingly privatised . It is within this context that Soundz of the South (SOS), an anti-capitalist hip-hop collective, is responding with this song, ‘FOR POWER’.

‘FOR POWER’ sheds light on the various impacts of the capitalist crisis: exploitation, neoliberalism and the effects on access to quality healthcare for working class people, more especially given the ongoing impact of the COVID19 pandemic. 

The song responds to South African realities: the state of the plunder of the public purse, government’s role in deepening and entrenching capitalist exploitation as well as police brutality during these days of national lock-down. The song hopes to inspire the South African working class to critically engage with this moment and organise themselves to collectively deal with the challenges they face.
