Chicago group, Sidewalk Chalk, is planning to drop their fourth album An Orchid Is Born on June 2nd via Ropeadope Records. And to keep their campaign rolling, they’ve cut loose some powerful new music. This one is called “A Suite for Black Lives,” and as a group they have a lot to express here. Pay attention.
Rico Sisney, the emcee of the group hit us with a quote:
“For people of color in this country, achieving self-acceptance is far more difficult because we’re taught to hate ourselves by the media, the education system, and politicians. This song is about struggling with internal demons and then turning on the external ones. I could write a damn dissertation on this but I’ll leave it at that.”
