In light of the numerous incidences of police brutality currently dominating national headlines, Oklahoma City rapper Jabee has teamed up with Chuck D and producer Hannibal King to tackle the issue with his new song, “Monument.”
“Is it us or is it them?/ Are we together in the end?/ Do we kill the ones that kill so they never kill again?” he raps on the track which is slated to appear on his upcoming album, Black Future. “If it's war, if it's peace, if it's dying in the streets/ If we denying we dying but dying tryin' to get free."
"What you gotta do is get everybody ready for Black Future. You know what to do you know what to say,” Chuck D says during a spoken word interlude. “I know you can spit and I know you can bring everybody together.”
Jabee, who won an Emmy in 2014 for his Science Museum Oklahoma promoting song “What If,” said the partnership with Chuck D occurred after “Chuck D heard some of my music and tweeted that my music had the potential to change the world. It started from there and we just stay in touch now.”
With regards to his upcoming album, Black Future, he said “ You can expect your heart and mind to be different after hearingBlack Future. It's for all of us.”
Black Future will be released on iTunes on Friday, August 12th.
