about

Notes: Sometime around two years ago a friend of mine in London saw “No Freedom Without Sacrifice” written across one of the many protest placards waved regularly outside the Zimbabwean Embassy. It arrived to me via camera-phone a few hours later. It spoke to me loudly. Not only of Zimbabwe (where I’d lived for 3 years in my childhood) but about life on many levels. It taps into a variety of reference points for me, from friends at home to Curtis Mayfield, Aung Sang Suu Kyi, Martin Luther King all the way to Jesus. | Oh yeah, the drum session with Cousin J was heavy. He just ripped it!!! Musically this track is inspired by the theme from the film Rocky. In particular when he’s running through the dark at 3am!
