• can u believe this was made on a shoestring budget ?!!?! honestly i still barely can … the love, the care, custom handmade pieces from REAL LIVING plants, the community spirit, the passion for the message … it’s giving me goosebumps right now thinking about it.

@v444.mp3 said she felt like the making of this music video is an example of rehearsing freedom, practicing revolution, acting in coming together and i feeeel it

Honestly the gratitude i feel for all the creatives involved, all the people pushing it, all those who this piece has touched, is deeply humbling.

Artist announcement for Corporate Watch's 30th Anniversary, London Oct 24th, Pelican House.

We are delighted to announce that the excellent André Jahnoi and alya isha The RA KHOLECTIV will be gracing us with their decolonial hip hop and vibrations for collective liberation at this celebration of 30 years of resistance!

André Jahnoi is a Liverpool-born hip-hop artiste and organiser whose insurrectionary sound and philosophy are heavily influenced by his Afro-Jamaican heritage. He describes his music as decolonial, using lyricism as a means of challenging the babylon systems that bound the ways we imagine the world and our place in it.

South-London soulstress, poet and multi-instrumentalist, alya isha pioneers ‘Nu Earth Groove’ music: Global Urban Bassy Jazz Funk for a new world. Born and raised in Japan, moving to Tooting, London and then Santiago de Cuba before returning to Brixton; the British, Indian-Mauritian and Swiss artist takes inspiration from her roots; adding her trademark hard-hitting political lyricism.
