Matthew Green With this new release of "Giants: Stories of Existence, Resilience, and Resistance" what Kojo offers is as metaphorically syncopated as it is musically disruptive to the current state of popular music and consciousness. Favorite track: Home (Y3n Ko Fie).

They say the world is a living hell Survival of the fittest in the market Free for all is a mist of destitution Institutions to mould the mind to confine our soul to self retribution These are the dark stars floating in the sky These are the dark stars floating in the sky So the night is dark as coal We wondering if we will ever meet our goal To love endlessly in a world that born to share And yet we war on killing brother after brother Leaving our sisters to bare the burden of our hatred These are the dark stars floating in the sky These are the dark stars floating in the sky Gloomy thoughts monopolize the mind Clouding your vision until there aint no more hope left inside

Master Master wont you come help me please I am stuck in a cold cold freeze You gotta know I am always in need Yeah, Yeah I know you always in need Thats why I got you some weed To take away the pain and trouble Dont forget to keep yourself warm This is what I have always wanted X4 Master Master wont you come help me please Took a trip around the world and still chilly Meet folks of my ilk in mass peril Sing tunes of larceny to end evil Matters of the heart seem to go wayside Making room for the devil to falsify One by one we all fall prey to his lies Never living with the love we all admire Love is alI have always wanted X4 No No you got it all figured wrong No No you got it all figured wrong Money is the force of our daily lives Hard currency earned of the peoples back To stock broking schnanigins to tip the scale You wonder why we always selling you something new Yeah yeah we love profits to the end of time;your life I bet is worth a dimes See all that money of mine, I put it to good use to dodge the crime Mass killings of folks for property to generate wealth for prosperity Your governments are at my heels, you best believe I got them hooked Its time to join the wagon of leave you by the way side This is my empire X4

When the giants march on we will feel their wrath A wrath born from the ageless hammer of destruction We will hear the rivers roar we will know their pain Pain endured from generation to generation So let them run free for their time is here and now They will rise like the sun shedding light for all to see For the world has no respect for the unseen Only marked bills with heroes of destruction We will keep marching with the Giants We will keep fighting for the fallen There's no rhyme or reason we reside in prison Pain and suffering all we know is a life of enslavement Militarized policing tell me what's the difference "Raise your hands! You're about to turn cold on the pavement" Helpless amidst confusion we're force fed illusion Are we free or subservient to a life of consumption Some reap a meager pittance others bask in abundance Foolish perdition as the world begs for deliverance We will keep marching with the Giants We will keep fighting for the fallen

about

GIANTS is a decolonizing creative process aimed at using music to capture the myriad experiences of people of color. The album builds on the tradition of resistance and resilience that people of color around the world have shown in the fight to combat the ill effects of colonization. Examples include but not limited to the Idle No More movement, Black Lives Matter Movement, Standing Rock Movement and the South African University protests.

The beauty of GIANTS is the use of different genres of music such as HighLife Music from Ghana, Hip-Hop, Soul, R&B to create a cohesive sound I call Afro-Soul. The album features musicians from around the world such as Ghanaian spoken word artist Mutombo Da Poet, Canadian Hip-Hop group Canadian Winter, Vancouver Hip-Hop artist K!mmortal and poets from the Hamilton Youth Slam and Syrian-born rapper Mother Tareka and more.
