Description
The long-awaited debut album of this endeared Bay Area music collective (feat Native Guns emcee Kiwi). Their socially conscious songs reveal stories from the eyes of the oppressed and resilient, with an energetic soul/funk/reggae/rock backdrop.
Notes
Once upon a time, a small crew of community organizers started jamming together on the weekends; an opportunity to bring their politics and values into a creative, musical space. Highlighted by lead vocalist/rapper Kiwi Illafonte (Native Guns) and bassist Paul Bolick-Mausisa (One Struggle), as well as up-and-coming guitar wunderkind Ervin Lopez, they started crafting songs and rocking shows around the Bay. Three years later, this band, now known by many as Mass Bass, is finally releasing their debut album Movement Movin’.
The first single “Gangsta Warrior” (which includes a video directed by Sine 68 productions) paints the day-to-day stories and struggles of everyday working people narrated over a live, reggae-influenced backdrop. “We wanted to accentuate the experiences of those in our lives who go about their days hustling and grinding; our modern-day warriors providing for the community,” Kiwi explains.
Original and timely, the nine tracks on Movement Movin’ cover themes such as cultural identity, economic injustice, immigration & migration, and government corruption. On top of all this, the CD packaging featuring artwork by Cece Carpio and photography by Shine Velasco make this project one worth having in your hands.
