What better time to emerge from my hiatus than with this new joint from blctxt and producer King I Divine? In the midst of a turbulent sociopolitical time, “The Roots” is a thoughtful narrative reflecting this nation’s unjust timeline. “I’m a mortal man that wishes he had answers/I’ma have some kids I hope that they stand up/to the man with the gun in his hands/whose agenda is to wipe them off earth cuz he can.” Over King I Divine’s hypnotic sounds, blctxt’s insightful lyrics can’t help but resonate with folks that understand this struggle.
This song is from the A3C Vol. 4 compilation mix, which dropped today. The mix is full of dope artists: new ones you need to know and familiar ones you’ve been diggin’ for a minute. You can stream it here and cop it here.
