Si c’est bien l’esthétique hip-hop qui prime, les sons de Goldencut frappent avec force aux portes du rock, de la trap, de l’électro. Flow sans accroc à la voix caverneuse et productions soignées nourrissent un rap organique, interstellaire.
Room to Breathe, 1er EP, porte un regard acéré sur l’actualité : un portrait sans demi-teinte du monde anxiogène qui nous entoure contrebalancé par la beauté et la perfection du vivant.
On les verrait bien partager un plateau avec Kendrick Lamar ou Bon Iver tant les énergies se croisent.

about
A Nation of the People jette un regard aussi sincère que dérangeant sur la question des injustices raciales aux Etats-Unis. De l'esclavage au mouvement des droits civiques à aujourd'hui, le texte parcourt les références historiques faisant d'un titre révolté le témoin d'un crime sans fin. C'est Public Enemy croisé avec Rage Against the Machine. A Nation of the People fait précisément ce que le rap doit faire : dire la vérité en pleine face sans jamais retenir ses coups face au pouvoir.
lyrics
It’s the drop of water that makes the glass overflow
A rage that grows hard as the rocks we throw
Trigger cocked back, stocked, lock and loaded
The powder keg’s fuse ain’t lit, it already exploded
a nation of the people, by the people and for people
whose slaves’ labor only ever served their greed
captured, middle-passaged, stuck in ghettoes and can’t leave
from Staten Island to Minnesota they can’t breathe
but are berated, brutalized, beaten until they bleed
does death hurt more when filmed and shown on TV?
now who’s offended by Kaepernick taking a knee?
those who can’t understand the flames in precinct 3
a nation of the people
that’s never been one people
always been separate
never been equal
a nation of the people
built for white power
underneath white sheets
sniffing white gun powder
a nation of the people
that packs blacks in prisons
that are private and denies it’s
rising fascism
a nation of the people
democracy devoured
by confederate cowards
who bitch and shout louder
4 centuries of systemic oppression, Jim Crow
voter suppression, murder in custody, death row
all this violence, this silence, this system where victims’
bodies lie in the street at the feet of those sworn
to uphold the laws/ but break ‘em at every turn?
while some mourn, others scorn, the social contract’s been torn
lynched, whipped, hunted, crosses burned at the stake
with the approval of or at the hands of the state
a nation of the people
that’s never been one people
always been separate
never been equal
a nation of the people
built for white power
underneath white sheets
sniffing white gun powder
a nation of the people
that packs blacks in prisons
that are private and denies it’s
rising fascism
a nation of the people
democracy devoured
by confederate cowards
who bitch and shout louder
no quotes in textbooks from poor black folk
US history is based on what rich whites wrote
spreading the fable that each and everyone is able
to get ahead, get fed, get a roof and a bed
we must just be just instead of judge and distrust
discuss differences and listen, not look on in disgust
civilians are bumrushed and cussed out by corrupt cops.
we can’t stop ‘til all that is unjust is crushed
stand in defiance of the sirens cause silence is compliance
manifest against more of the same state-sponsored violence
by an institution asked to protect and to serve
when will the meek receive the protection they deserve?
a nation of the people
that’s never been one people
always been separate
never been equal
a nation of the people
built for white power
underneath white sheets
sniffing white gun powder
a nation of the people
that packs blacks in prisons
that are private and denies it’s
rising fascism
a nation of the people
democracy devoured
by confederate cowards
who bitch and shout louder
Ces trois musiciens
alchimistes se font les révélateurs d’une géométrie à symétrie
variable. Leur musique est une
expérience à résultat modulable : tantôt
sombre et hybride, aussi rock qu’électronique, immergeant dans
un hip-hop ciselé, transcendant....more
