The brothers So.Crates worked on a beautiful album which they dropped the other month. The launch was love.
The name of the album, Malcolm after Mecca = El Hajj Malik El Shabazz. Reference, to a state of consciousness which represents a pinnacle and a highest expression of being. Encapsulating a deep understanding of the social, political, cultural, and material conditions that exist in this world. Perceiving these forces in real time, with the ability to express and engage with them, creating ways to change and challenge these paradigms and systems in meaningful ways.
We see this fully expressed in the last stages of the life of El Hajj Malik El Shabazz, when he was willing to work with anyone who genuinely wanted to build a better world. He traveled the planet building with world leaders, creating solidarity with African Nations, Cuba and Palestine. Global revolutionary work, that began from his community.
The precision and clarity of his critiques still ring true today.
They speak through time.
An integrity, passion, insight and humor which is rare.
Read the 'Autobiography of Malcolm X' if you haven't. Listen to his speeches. A source of power when your spirit is low.
