"Radio Activity" by The Hues Brothers
If Octavia Butler and Howard Zinn co-wrote an episode of Black Mirror while bumping Sun-Ra, The Hues Brothers "Radio Activity" is the soundtrack: politically-charged Electronic Hip Hop pushing against the gravity of apocalyptic human invention, reaching towards alternative realities. This trans-Atlantic collaboration features NYC emcee Rabbi Darkside's signature intricate wordplay atop UK producer/turntablist Mr. Simmonds' headnotic production. "Radio Activity" is a signal boost to a distant planet, a road map at the intersection of technology and consciousness, neon dystopian jazz for the boom bap futurist.
Say Word Ent is proud to bring its first renaissance release to the world in collaboration with Fat Beats Distribution and Layerframe Studios. This album is a 30-minute musical meditation steeped in poetry, soul, science fiction, sociology, resistance, Buddhism and hope. Pressed in limited edition, beautifully packaged with full-color lyrics insert to accompany the startling graphic cover art by Eena Daou. And not quite like anything you've ever heard.
