It’s guaranteed to be one of the newest bangers on your playlist! Find it below along with a blurb from the band, and their tour schedule!

“Decolonize Yr Mind” is a song that explores the idea of what the world would’ve been like if imperialism and colonization never destroyed the lives of millions of black people. Despite living in a country that has severely oppressed us, we still manage to create so much beauty in this world. So the question now is, imagine if we didn’t have systems constantly suppressing us, and imagine how we would be influencing this world? We can create that world, but to start to build that world, we must first learn to unlearn these toxic systems and begin to imagine the world we want to see.
Exclusively from April 22nd through May 12th — fans will be able to pre-order a “Decolonize Yr Mind” tee — funds raised from the tee will be donated to Soul Fire Farm. Their food sovereignty programs reach over 160,000 people each year, including farmer training for Black and Brown growers, reparations and land return initiatives for northeast farmers, food justice workshops for urban youth, home gardens for city-dwellers living under food apartheid, doorstep harvest delivery for food-insecure households, and systems and policy education for public decision-makers.
