Sons Of Kemet ft: Kojey Radical - Hustle (Official Video)

Mercury-nominated quartet Sons Of Kemet announce new studio album “Black To The Future” featuring Kojey Radical, Lianne La Havas, D Double E, Angel Bat Dawid, Moor Mother, Joshua Idehen and more. The album, will be released on Impulse/Universal on May 14th, is the follow up to 2018’s Mercury-nominated Your Queen Is A Reptile.

This album begins and ends with powerful lyrical and musical statements of rage and frustration, expressed outwardly in the wake of George Floyd’s death and the subsequent BLM protests. The album flows inwards from the start and finish to deeper, inner journeys – looking to forgotten cosmologies and searching for new ways of existing.

Lead single “Hustle” is a propulsive, urgent song with the poetic, chanting lyrics of Kojey Radical. He speaks: “Why ain’t no one tell me peace of mind was pricey /I could dance with the devil but that’s unlikely / Might go broke but that’s unlike me / I was born from the mud with the hustle inside me.”
