Last week The Burnerz (Zumbi of Zion I x the ARE of The Trackmasters) linked up to record a song dissecting the tension between the police and the public; which have been highlighted by several events in Oakland (Zumbi’s hometown). In particular; the murder of Oscar Grant; as well as the murder of four Oakland officers last week.
The Burnerz feel that the tragedies that we are witnessing can be attributed to the long history of police brutality experienced in the black and brown communities. It’s supposed to make cats feel uncomfortable and get people thinking.
