In just 21 minutes, Detroit-born hip-hop artist P8tience captures joy and racial heartache on his latest album KuhlerBlahynd — pronounced color blind.
Song Description
“They still beating us like Rodney King. They can’t beat us. They want to shoot us. They can’t shoot us. They take us behind bars and say we died of our own hands. But I ain’t suicidal word to Sandra Bland,” P8tience raps on “J.A.N.” It’s a bass filled ode to the Black experience in America.
P8tience says KuhlerBlahynd was written nearly four years ago and finally released the album because of the country’s boiling racial and social tensions.
He’s a father of two Black children who can easily become victims of those tensions, but still wrote the album from all perspectives.
“You’ll have to feel your way through this album. This isn’t about cops versus blacks, or blacks versus whites,” he says.
“This album is about human beings accepting another human being’s point of view regardless of stance. You won’t agree with everything here, but you will feel it.”
Whether written four, five, or ten years ago, lyrics like this will always remain timeless and given America’s current climate, right on time.
KuhlerBlahynd was executive produced by Darius Mitchell of Black Collar Music Group.
