During the American Revolution, many African Americans fought in the rebel army. They actively collaborated in the achievement of the independence and birth of the United States. It was a decisive factor for the abolitionist movement to gain momentum and, over the years, it ended up eradicating slavery in some northern states; In contrast, the southern states, commercially focused on the cotton market and highly dependent on slaves for optimal profits, continued to demand slaves at will. They did not consider abolishing their inhumane exploitation.
As a poet and hip-hop artist, ML Underwood occupies a special place in the African-American music that covers their glorious history. Here he questions the deep meaning of the great “revolutionary” impetus, which is shaking America in the light of the entertainment society, which is redistributing the cards. Prophetic in his questioning of the capacity of the media and mainstream culture to lull people to sleep, his phrasing will make him above all one of the precursors of Hip-hop, even if the rappers will not always recognize themselves in his uncompromising faith in “vintage” revolution.
This conscious version of the I’m The Light, a funky apology for gangster culture which will also serve as a basis for Rap, will nevertheless deeply mark all those who want to question the publicity recovery of struggles and the hidden fascination for the spectacular system.
