Brooklyn stand the fuck up!
GAME REBELLION feat. JEAN GRAE and MATH- ‘No Sleep ‘Til Brooklyn’
When my cousin told me about his band project seven years ago I was like, “Yeah whatever dude”. I figured this was on some hippie weedhead college jam band bullshit. When I first saw them perform I knew this fool was for real. The world needed a band like GAME Rebellion seven years ago to remind us that terrorism on American shores was nothing new at all if you did the knowledge.
The great thing about America is that we allow ourselves to be anesthetized to the truth with entertainment like movies and music. So instead GAME Rebellion decided to use music as adrenaline. For justice, for remembrance, for change. I fucks with these dudes heavy like that. My younger cousin had to remind me that evolution was better than a revolution, and that love is fucking hard work. At the end of the day we are all just poor people and if we don’t have love then we truly have nothing.
On Saturday, July 5th the rebels will perform at the Weeksville Heritage Center. For African Americans in New York City July 5th is a significant day. African slaves were emancipated in New York state on July 4th, 1827 but due to the threats of terroristic violence on Africans in New York the celebration was postponed until the following day. Prior to final emancipation in 1827, New York held the largest urban slave population outside of the South. After 1827, that population became one of the most sizable free black communities in the North.
Freedom was never free and we live on the horizon of a return to the loss of our freedoms to travel and congregate as a community. So come out on Saturday and raise your voice in a joyful sound that declares your mind shall remain unchained and free forevermore.
Do it for the childrens.
