about

A theme I wrote in 2016 after the Brexit vote and Trump’s election win. A dark moment for me. I just wanted to turn the lights out on their world, burn it all down.

Years later, when it came to recording the vocals, I doubted I could capture that vibe and was planning on ad-libbing some new lyrics instead. That morning I woke up to see the news that Trump tried to manufacture a coup, with the far right attacking the Capitol. Well, those original lyrics came right back to me and seemed perfect. I recorded them while watching the news unfold and I was furious.

The music is inspired by growing up in Zimbabwe, surrounded by incredible dub artists like Yellowman.Its my tribute to heavy dub plate sounds.The lyric ‘them the rules, them the brakes’ is a reference to hip-hop pioneer Kurtis Blow.
