with these comments by Black Thought:
Visual art has always been an inspiration. I was a visual artist when I was younger. Every type of medium, but it was my mode of expression before music. For this project, I wanted the best artwork, especially from other Black artists with similar reference points. Rashid and I both explore memory. For Rashid it’s through his materials. African soap and wax, both familiar to his childhood. His pieces have an internal rhythm (follow his hand marks). And it’s about the individual and collective angst.
The EP features assistance from 9th Wonder’s production team, The Soul Council.
