With all the f*ckery going on for folk of color in the new millennium and mainstream it’s refreshing to be snatched back to how we used to be represented. I’m really digging how Actual Proof used Black History images of people who had memorable social movements for the EP artwork.
This project is split into two sides, The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Experience and The Malcolm X Experience. Features include Skewby, Laws, Kendrick Lamar and production from AMP, Khrysis, 9th Wonder plus more.
