This is Boom-Bap from the stars at the pyramids. A dance party with indigenous kings, quantum physicists, and your little cousins. These are lyrics that school, uplift, capture the imagination and reprimand wackness. This is the love story between heritage and irreverence, the make out session between education, rebellion, what is and what’s possible. A heavy blow from sound logic upon hateful ignorance. Love over fear.
