SPACE AFRIKA
oh baby
When thinking about the limits of empathy, it is important to remember that white supremacy is founded not only on a hatred for people of colour, but more fundamentally on a commitment to ignorance and the adulation of the self. The title and content of this mixtape speaks directly to this impulse toward self-containment and self-worship by placing the listener in a space built for confrontational empathy: “Have you been through what I’ve been through? Do you have any idea what is it to live in my body, to experience this life as I have?” While there has been lots of discussion lately about the need to centre Black voices in music and art, this mixtape does that literally, to disarming and cathartic effect.
