about

Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of their evolution occurred on that continent. White race exists only because some of us moved further north where is less sunshine.

I'm a whitey. I dug my old portrait photo and stylized it as an old American wanted poster for the cover artwork. Why?

This song was inspired by George Floyd murder and later BLM protests.

The truth is that genetically we are all black but the whole world is a niggahood where rasism is still a tool to divide and rule.

The fortunes, old and new, are often made by exploitation. Today it's cost optimisation, cheap labour, corruption or environmental pollution. The world is a big global colony, where only the 1%, the super rich keeps profiteering.

===

The extended version tells a story of a routine stop and check by the police turning into a quick and unnecessary death.
