"Resistir" is an album advocating for resistance against various forms of social injustice. It emphasizes the importance of ancient wisdom, indigenous spirituality, and the role of cultural memory in addressing issues like border militarization, racial profiling, and conflicts stemming from drug wars. The album delves into the historical context of colonialism in Texas and its broader implications, aiming to foster knowledge and awareness in an era marked by ongoing conflict and occupation.

Welcome to Week 14 of our Book (Album) Club! Gift Rap by The Cross Movement!

I went seasonal for this week. I know Christmas is almost a week out, but doing a Christmas album on the 26th seemed lame so what the hell.

Doesn’t matter if this is your 100th time listening to the album or you listen to the album the first time right before posting!

Illuminati Congo is a unique artist whose music is a blend of hip-hop with reggae influences. His lyrical content often delves into spiritual and health-conscious themes, combining rhythmic beats with thought-provoking words that challenge listeners to consider deeper topics. He stands out in the hip-hop community for his focus on positive vibrations and wellness, making his sound not just music to the ears, but also food for the soul. If you enjoy hip-hop that comes with a message and a different vibe, you might find Illuminati Congo's tracks both refreshing and enlightening.

Super busy until the New Year, but wanted to post one of my favorites off the album I'm listening to right now.

So I finally got around to listening to this properly. I don't know what took me so long, well I do... I feel like I kinda have Run The Jewels fatigue and it's basically down to the fact that I loved RTJ and RTJ2 so much, only to be underwhelmed by later projects, to the fact that I have an aversion to listening to them. So while everyone was raving about the album, I had it sitting waiting.

When I eventually sat down to throw it on, the ID3 tags were a mess and so I tapped out, promising to go back when I had the patience to fix them and that. So one day... It was today... I jumped back into the album.

Apparently I stopped halfway through NRICH featuring 6LACK and Eryn Allen Kane, so I started this time from Talk'n That Shit! and I'm not gonna lie, the shit sounded better and I'm not sure if the album just kicked up a gear or it was because the tags didn't look like shit, but this shit sounded better.

From there on out, I pretty much enjoyed the album to the end. There's a couple tracks I'd skip every time and around six have made it into the rotation, at least temporarily, but it was a really pleasant experience.

Oh and the best track on the album, in my opinion at this moment in time, Don't Let The Devil featuring El-P and thankugoodsir. The production and delivery, chef's kids!

BTW, outside of the novelty of the Andre 3000 and Future track, I'm not sure me and it gets affinity. I'll listen a few times to really make my mind up, but for the most part, for now, meh!
